Faithful Witness
ὁ μάρτυς ὁ πιστός
The Faithful Witness — the One whose testimony about the Father is absolutely true
Symbol: The unsealed scroll — testimony that cannot be impeached
“and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.”
Revelation 1:5
Christ is the Witness whose testimony about God is perfectly true — He saw the Father and told us exactly what He saw.
What the name means
A witness testifies to what they have seen; Jesus is the Faithful Witness because He has seen the Father face to face.
He is firstborn from the dead and ruler of kings — witness, resurrection and reign in one title.
To trust the Faithful Witness is to stop guessing about God — He has told us the truth about the Father.
How to pray this name

Faithful Witness, I trust what You have told me about the Father. Show me His heart through Yours. In the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.
