Hebrews 1:1-3 – Prophets
1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.
3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

What does it mean to “call on the name of the Lord”?
The phrase “call on the name of the Lord” appears for the first time in Genesis 4:26. At that time, a community began to publicly acknowledge and honor God by seeking His presence. The concept of the “name of the Lord” in Scripture encompasses much more than a word that identifies God. The name of God encompasses the full measure of His inexhaustible character. To “call on the name of the Lord” implies seeking God through faith, with a desire to know Him. Beginning with Enosh, believers have called on the name of the Lord for salvation and daily needs. The psalmist states, “The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.”
