Alma 5:57

57 And now I say unto you, all you that are desirous to follow the voice of the good shepherd, come ye out from the wicked, and be ye separate, and touch not their unclean things; and behold, their names shall be blotted out, that the names of the wicked shall not be numbered among the names of the righteous, that the word of God may be fulfilled, which saith: The names of the wicked shall not be mingled with the names of my people;

Why are names so important/ significant?

I love the name of Christ in this verse- The Good Shepherd. I feel like just 'Shepherd' would have been enough- but Good is added. Goodness upon Goodness- is our Lord.
