Theological Significance: Yada is the word used for the deepest knowing — God knowing His people, and His people knowing Him. It is relational, experiential, and transformative. God knows my name or God knows the true me.

Teaching: God does not just know about you — HE yada’s you.       HE knows you from the inside out, and He calls you by name.
