Your name identifies you. Depending on how you are living your life, your name can identify you in multiple ways. When your name is mentioned, what character traits follow it?
Does your name cause others to be happy, safe, does it bring comfort and love? Or does the mention of your name bring controversy, fear, hurt, lies and untrustworthy feelings?
Keith A. White, years ago represented something other than how I'm known today as "Bro. Keith". Because and only because I gave my life to Christ has Bro. Keith changed the perception of what Keith A. White once represented. Being Saved has brought me into relationships with others who are Saved and my becoming a Brother has changed and has given relevance to my name.
So, no matter which you use, the two identities now have the same meaning - Man of God!
A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favor rather than silver and gold. (Proverbs 22:1 NKJV)
