God created humans with glory and honor (Ps 8:6), yet sin results in shame, a loss of face and reputation. God uses his name to enter into the fray. The restoration of status, which all people long for, plays a key role in God’s mission throughout history. God desires to bless the nations with honor and to share his name with his people. By living for his name’s sake, God’s people exist in a community with new, different, and better standards for honor.
