God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM (Or I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE). This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” Exodus 3:14, NIV
“Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I AM!” John 8:58, NIV
Dr. Robert Luginbill writes on http://ichthys.com/, “God is the author of all existence, of all creation, and that He is supreme within that creation, being both the definition and the ruler of the very notion of being and existence. The use of the divine "being" Name in Exodus chapter three served to put the Israelites on notice that this God is in no way comparable to the gods with which they were familiar (so neither is His Name comparable). In John 8:58 and elsewhere, Jesus makes it clear that He is that very same One. "The Name" is a declaration that the Lord is the very definition of being and existence without regard to time or phenomena.”
I have always been and continue to be fascinated by the Divine Name, I AM. To me, it is the greatest of all the names of our Lord because the name denotes action. You cannot mistake this name as passive; for it implies not only activity and life, but eternal-infinite-life. God is eternal and defines eternity—timelessness—duration without beginning or end.
And yet, His character is unchanging. In Malachi 3:6, the LORD declares He does not change; the writer of Hebrews further states, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever”, (13:8).
Dear Ones, the facts are these: HE is always there, HE never changes, and therefore, He can always be relied upon. Come to know Him as Lord and Savior today. He’s waiting for you.
Amen and God Bless!For he says,“In the time of my favor I heard you,
and in the day of salvation I helped you.”I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2, NIV
