The word “hallowed” here means to be set apart, and we should set God above all things in our lives. We should glorify and praise Him for who He is as our Lord, Creator, and Savior. We should hold high the name of God because as Acts 4:12 says, there is no other name under which can be saved than His. We often find that God’s name is used very loosely today, and it is not being revered. Jesus reminds us of the respect and high regard that we should have for the name of God in this verse.
Do you revere the Lord’s name, or do you let it loosely slip off of your tongue when you are angry or upset?
