I AM WHO I AM

God replied to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you." Exodus 3:14, HCSB

In his book, “No More Secondhand God”, Buckminster Fuller said, “God is a verb. I wonder if Mr. Fuller came up with the idea of God being a verb after reading Exodus 3:14. As one of the great thinkers of the 20th century and an author who wrote of God, Mr. Fuller surely pondered the thought of the Uncreated One; the Eternal One; the One who is unchanging and absolute; the “One who is, who was, and who is coming,” (Revelation 1:4).
Since the beginning of time man has attempted to describe our great and awesome God. However, try as we might, our descriptions are always inadequate. Why? Because God is so much more than we our earthly minds can fathom.
God reveals Himself through nature; He has revealed Himself through historical events and people and through His unerring word, the Bible. And yet we are able to come to know Him intimately through trusting in Jesus Christ His Son. “For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16, HCSB
If you haven’t already done so, I invite you to come to know God through reliance upon His Son. Come to know the extravagant love of the Father through the Son. Enjoy a personal relationship with God both now and throughout eternity.
“You love Him, though you have not seen Him. And though not seeing Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy, because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” 1 Peter 1:8-9, HCSB
God Bless!
