Here is the Scripture that you refer to:
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake (John 14.11)
Jesus said this in response to Philip's question, "Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us." (John 14.8)
Philip was one of Jesus' twelve disciples and had seen many of Jesus' miracles, and Jesus was reminding him that:
"he that hath seen me hath seen the Father;" (John 14.9)
And - "he doeth the works." (John 14.10)
And so Jesus' works prove his statement:
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? (John 14.10)

Anyone evil or good can have a name but the person' true self, his works, and how he does things is what make the name. Your savior Jesus said that one is known by his works. The name of anyone is establish by that person or beings works. In the olden days your savior Jesus' father, your God, killed. These are the works of a killer. Your God' works show a murderer because of his destroying the world with water. All religions puts so much in the name or outward appearance and not in the works or deeds of the person or being as your savior Jesus said when he pointed out that one is known by his works. But even your savior Jesus said bless the name of the lord God his father not the works of the lord God.
