Mu Chiheberi chakale, liwu lotembenuzidwa kuti "loyera" (qodeish) limatanthawuza "kupatukana" kapena "kupatulidwa". Khalidwe loyera ndi labwino la Mulungu limamsiyanitsa ndi zolengedwa zina zonse m'chilengedwe chonse.
Baibo imati, "Palibe Woyera monga Ambuye." (1 Sam. 2: 2, NIV)
Mneneri Yesaya adawona masomphenya a Mulungu momwe aserafi, zolengedwa zakuthambo zakumwamba zimatchulana wina ndi mzake: "Woyera, Woyera, Woyera ndiye Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse." (Yesaya 6: 3, NIV) Kugwiritsiridwa ntchito kwa "woyera" katatu kumatsimikizira kuyera kwapadera kwa Mulungu, koma akatswiri ena a Baibulo amakhulupirira kuti pali "woyera" wa membala aliyense wa Utatu: Mulungu Atate, Mwana ndi Mzimu Woyera.

Kuyera kwa Mulungu ndi mutu wankhani wobwereza bwereza Baibulo
Mukamalemba, kuyera kwa Mulungu ndi mutu wankhani wobwereza. Olemba Bayibulo akusiyanitsa kwakukulu pakati pa chikhalidwe cha Ambuye ndi cha anthu. Kupatulika kwa Mulungu kunali kokwezeka kwambiri kotero kuti olemba Chipangano Chakale amaletsa kugwiritsa ntchito dzina la Mulungu, lomwe Mulungu adawululira Mose pachitsamba choyaka cha pa Phiri la Sinayi.
Akuluakulu akale, Abulahamu, Isaki ndi Yakobo, amatchula Mulungu kuti "El Shaddai", kutanthauza Wamphamvuyonse. Pamene Mulungu adauza Mose kuti dzina lake ndi "INE NDINE NDI NDANI", lotanthauzidwa kuti YAHWEH m'Chihebri, adawulula monga Munthu wosadziwika, Wopezekapo. Ayuda akale ankaona dzinali kukhala loyera kwambiri kotero kuti silinatchulidwe mokweza, m'malo mwake "Lord".
Mulungu atapatsa Mose Malamulo Khumi, analetsa mosapita m'mbali kugwiritsidwa ntchito kwa dzina la Mulungu. Kuukira dzina la Mulungu kunali kuukila kuyera kwa Mulungu, nkhani yanyoza kwambiri.
Kunyalanyaza chiyero cha Mulungu kwadzetsa zotsatirapo zoyipa kwambiri. Ana a Aroni, Nadabu ndi Abihu, anachita mosemphana ndi malamulo a Mulungu pantchito yawo yaunsembe ndipo adawapha ndi moto. Zaka zambiri pambuyo pake, pamene Mfumu David anali kusuntha likasa la chipangano pagalimoto - ndikuphwanya malamulo a Mulungu - iye anagwetsa ng'ombezo zikaphunthwa ndipo bambo wina dzina lake Uza amugwira kuti amukhazikitse.

Chiyero cha Mulungu ndiye maziko a chipulumutso
Chodabwitsa, lingaliro la chipulumutso lidakhazikikadi pachinthu chomwe chimasiyanitsa Ambuye ndi umunthu: chiyero cha Mulungu.Kwazaka mazana ambiri, anthu aku Israeli aku Chipangano Chakale ankamangidwa ku njira yoperekera nyama nyama nsembe zawo machimo. Komabe, yankho lake linali la kanthawi kochepa chabe. Mulungu adalonjeza kale anthu m'nthawi ya Adamu.

Kachiwiri, pamafunika nsembe yachilendo kulipira ngongole yamachimo amunthu. Ndipo chachitatu, Mulungu adzagwiritsa ntchito Mesiya kusamutsa chiyero kukhala amuna ndi akazi ochimwa.
Kuti akwaniritse zosowa zake, Mulungu yemweyo anayenera kukhala Mpulumutsi. Yesu, Mwana wa Mulungu, adabadwa munthu ngati munthu, wobadwa ndi mkazi koma amasunga chiyero chake chifukwa adabadwa ndi mphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera. Kubadwa mwa namwali kumeneku kunapangitsa kuti kuchimwa kwa Adamu kufike kwa Mwana wa Khristu. Yesu atafa pamtanda, inakhala nsembe yoyenera, yolangidwa chifukwa cha machimo onse amtundu wa anthu, akale, apano komanso amtsogolo.
Mulungu Atate anaukitsa Yesu kwa akufa kuti awonetse kuti alandira nsembe yangwiro ya Kristu. Chifukwa chake, kuti awonetsetse kuti anthu amatsatira miyezo yake, Mulungu amaika chiyero cha khristu kwa aliyense wolandila Yesu kukhala Mpulumutsi.
