NSBT 38: Calling on the Name of the Lord

At that time people began to call upon the name of the LORD" " (Genesis 4:26 ESV).






From this first mention of prayer in the Bible, right through to the
end, when the church prays Come, Lord Jesus!" (Revelation 22:20), " prayer is intimately linked with the gospel-God's promised and
provided solution to the problem of human rebellion against him and its
consequences.






After defining prayer simply as calling on the name of the " Lord, Gary Millar follows the contours of the Bible's teaching on " prayer. His conviction is that even careful readers can often overlook
significant material because it is deeply embedded in narrative or poetic
passages where the main emphases lie elsewhere.






Millar's initial focus is on how calling on the name of the " Lord to deliver on his covenantal promises is the foundation for all that " the Old Testament says about prayer. Moving to the New Testament, he shows how
this is redefined by Jesus himself, and how, after his death and resurrection,
the apostles understood praying in the name of Jesus" to be the " equivalent new covenant expression.
