“Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.”
Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make known his mighty power. Despite rebellion, God continues to save, motivated not by Israel's worthiness but by God's own 'name' and 'mighty power.' The phrase 'for his name's sake' suggests that God acts to preserve his own reputation and purposes. This verse establishes the theological pattern whereby human unfaithfulness cannot nullify divine commitment, and God's gracious action accomplishes divine purposes despite human rejection.
