Tag: I AM

Day 5 of May

Who is He?

And they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. Exodus 3 verse 13 and 14

There are about 300 times in the Bible mentioned “I am” beginning with Genesis 15 verse 1 and ending with Revelation 22 verse 16. Most times it gives us a small picture of God’s character. For example when God says to Abram, “I am thy shield and exceeding great reward.” In other words, God is saying he will protect you and keep you safe. He is saying he is a God of love and care. His lovingkindness is incomparable; there is no one like Him.

Is He not beautiful?

In Exodus, God introduces himself as the IAM. He announces His divine person. IAM is present continuous. He is now and forever, the first and the last, the alpha and the omega.

I continue to be what I continue to be and will be. The ever-existing One or He that is to come. From eternity past and will be in eternity.
