Bible books such as Chronicles and Numbers include lots of names. Names ARE important. God records and remembers names as evidenced by genealogical lists in scripture.
This speaks to us of the significance and importance of every person. God knows them, He knows their name, and is concerned about their eternal destiny. We should be too. Just ask any mother about her children … she knows their names and is vitally concerned about their well-being.
Christian should pay close attention to the names of their acquaintances. Attention paid to a name indicates a caring concern for the individual. WHO doesn’t want to have other people concerned about their welfare???
