A good name is better than gold or silver
A name is word which indicates a particular person. Everybody has a name they answer to. A name tells more of a person. A name determines one's reputation.
Proverbs 22:1 KJV
A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

Let us all be mindful of what we do at any point in time because what ever we do or whatever we live for will never be forgotten and our names will forever be attached to our legacy. When people hear your name, all your deeds will convert remembrance.
Today people are happy to give their children some names like Abraham, Isaac, Noah, Paul, Peter etc but I've never seen a child named Lucifer or Judas or Cain or Esau. Not because these names are bad in there meaning but because of the deeds of the people that were called by the name. Whenever you mention their name, their deeds come to our mind and nobody will want to associate with the names.
Some people are dead today but their names are still very much in the heart to people. Don't mess up your name just to get riches and power. You will die one day and all your riches and power will die with you. What will forever live on is your name.
There is nobody that will faithfully serve God that will not have a good name. Submit yourself to the will of God and serve him with all your heart. As Christians, we need to be mindful of our deed so that will be able to remember our name for good.
The question is, what is the first thing that comes to people's mind at the mention of your name.
Note that irrespective of your power and riches, if you don't have a good name, you are nobody.
I pray God will help us to act according to his will in Jesus name. Amen
I call such irresponsible rich men
Yes sir. Riches with a bad name is not worth it

Name is very important, it was our core identity. God is so interested in it that he name some people in the bible before they were born.
Yes, God is interested in our name. We should also know that we Carry the identity of God. So, we need to live a Godly life
