Jacob's New Name

What new name did God give Jacob?
God changed Jacob's name to Israel.
 
Jacob’s meeting with God changed his life as reflected in his new name, Israel. Jesus came so that we might have a changed life, forgiven of sin (2 Corinthians 5:17). Jesus’ death and resurrection provided sinful people, all of us, with the way to be adopted into God’s family. When we are adopted into the family of God we also receive a new name—children of God (John 1:12)
