Why did God still call Israel “Jacob” after changing his name?

Summary

The sermon explores God's renaming of individuals in scripture as a sign of character change, citing Abram to Abraham and Saul to Paul. It highlights the complexity of Jacob becoming Israel, noting God still sometimes uses "Jacob" while referring to Israel as a nation or the transformed individual. The takeaway is that God's self-revelation through the names of patriarchs like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob signifies His historical covenant with His people.
