Both God and Christ are referred to throughout the scriptures by hundreds of names. Each of these titles has as its purpose to teach some singular truth about them. Jesus [Hebrew = Joshua] is a given name; it means “Jehovah saves,” Christ is a title meaning “ anointed,” or “anointed one.” Son of god denominates the reality of Jesus’ divine nature. He is in reality God’s Son. Father of heaven and earth denotes Christ’s role in the creation. The title Creator of all things expands his creative role to embrace all that lives, dies, and is resurrected in and through his atoning sacrifice. (See also Mosiah 4:2; 3 Nephi 9:15.)
