I find it amazing that God chose to reveal Himself using various conjugations and tenses of the verb “to be.”
Exodus 3:14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
John 8:58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Here are the 7 “I am” statements made by Jesus in the gospel of John
-
- I am the Bread of Life (John 6:35)
- I am the Light of the World (John 8:12)
- I am the Door (John 10:9)
- I am the Good Shepherd (John 10:11,14)
- I am the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25)
- I am the Way and the Truth and the Life (John 14:6)
- I am the Vine (John 15:1,5)
If you are reading this, please post in the comment section more verses where God identifies Himself with some form or conjugation of the verb “to be.”
