A special name that means “The Lord (Yahweh or Jehovah) is our righteousness.” This name was given to a future righteous king that God promised would come from King David's family (Jeremiah 23:5–6). This same name was also used to describe the people who would live under this king's rule (33:16). Christians believe this promise came true when Jesus Christ came. They believe Jesus is the Lord who rules over everything and helps his followers live in a right relationship with God.
