Matt.6:9 Pray like this: 'Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
God’s name is Holy no human being can make God's name unholy by their conduct or their speech; so what is Jesus Christ speaking about here? Well Christ Jesus is speaking about personal heart conditions, our own heart condition. No matter how many times a person speaks a certain pronunciation of God’s name it will not become Holy. In fact, it becomes vain repetition that irritates others.
Christ Jesus is our righteousness through his blood our hearts are sanctified or made clean (Holy) through God’s Holy Spirit. Thus, for God’s name to be made Holy in us we must walk in the Holy Spirit throughout each day. Some religions believe it is by speaking, or publishing a certain pronunciation of God’s name that they are making God's name Holy.
Christ Jesus made God’s name Holy among the human race by giving his life for us. When we accept him, and walk in the Holy Spirit wherein Christ speaks through us, we share in God’s Holiness. Thus, we make God’s name Holy in us. In sharing with others God’s goodness they see our fine works (of the Holy Spirit) and glorify God, not us. No matter how you pronounce God’s name it, it is the condition of our hearts that makes His name Holy, or unholy among people.
