This name is hallowed by the angels of heaven, by the inhabitants of unfallen worlds. When you pray, "Hallowed be Thy name," you ask that it may be hallowed in this world, hallowed in you. God has acknowledged you before men and angels as His child; pray that you may do no dishonor to the "worthy name by which ye are called." James 2:7. God sends you into the world as His representative. In every act of life you are to make manifest the name of God. This petition calls upon you to possess His character. You cannot hallow His name, you cannot represent Him to the world, unless in life and character you represent the very life and character of God. This you can do only through the acceptance of the grace and righteousness of Christ.

Dette navn helliges af himmelens engle og af de syndfri verdeners beboere. Når du beder: »Helliget vorde dit navn!« beder du om, at det må blive helliget i denne verden, helliget i dig. For mennesker og for engle har Gud anerkendt dig som sit barn; bed om, at du ikke må vanære »det skønne navn, som er nævnet over jer". (Jak. 2.7). Gud sender dig ud i verden som hans sendebud. I enhver handling i livet må du åbenbare Guds navn. Denne bøn udgør et krav til dig om at være i besiddelse af hans karakter. Du kan ikke hellige hans navn eller være en fremstilling af ham i verden, medmindre du er en fremstilling af Guds eget liv og af Guds egen karakter. Dette kan du kun gøre ved at tage imod Kristi nåde og retfærdighed.
