7 I AMs Found in Scripture

7 I AMs Found in Scripture
"Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” 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.’” Ex. 3:13-14
During the burning bush experience recorded in Exodus 3, Moses, who is looking for authority to speak to Pharaoh and the Israelites, asked God His name. God replies, “I AM who I AM.” When God said this to Moses, He was literally saying:
  • I AM the True Vine.
  • I AM the Good Shepherd.
  • I AM the Door of the sheep.
  • I AM the Resurrection and the Life.
  • I AM the Bread of Life.
  • I AM the Light of the world.
  • I AM the Way, Truth, and Life.
Basically, God is saying to Moses, I AM all of those things. I AM everything. I AM everything you will ever need Moses! And He says the same thing to you and me today, friend!
  • I AM your strength.
  • I AM your deliverance.
  • I AM your provider.
  • I AM your security.
  • I AM your sustainer.
  • I AM your wisdom.
  • I AM your only way.
There is nothing that we need today that God is not. Nothing we need that He does not provide. Nothing He does not deliver. Nothing He does not secure. Nothing He cannot heal. Nothing He cannot rescue or redeem!
I AM the Way Truth and Life
Moses comes to God looking for authority, and leaves with the authority for all generations.
"This is my name forever, and thus I AM to be remembered throughout all generations."Ex. 3:15

"​I AM the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6

​“I AM the True Vine, and My Father is the Vine-dresser." John 15:1

"I AM the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep." John 10:11

"So Jesus again said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, I AM the Door of the sheep.'" John 10:7

"Jesus said to her, 'I AM the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in Me, though he die, yet shall he live.'" John 11:25

"Jesus said to them, 'I AM the Bread of Life; whoever comes to Me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in Me shall never thirst.'" John 6:35

"​Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, 'I AM the Light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the Light of life.'" John 8:25
God also said to Moses:
“Say this to the people of Israel: ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and thus I AM to be remembered throughout all generations." Exodus 3:15

Moses could not control things in his day, just like we cannot control things in ours. Check out the blog post "Alexa, Turn on the Party Lights." The post was written around Isaiah 41:10 and encourages us to pray over the things we have no control over, give them to God, and not to take them back! 
"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
Did you notice that all 7 of these I AM declarations were from the Gospel of John? What can we learn from them?​​
  1. The True Vine reveals that the things we do in His strength, out of gratitude for what He’s done for us, are the only things that matter.
  2. The Good Shepherd shows how He paid our debt for sin with His own life—a debt He did not owe, a debt we owed, but could not pay.
  3. The Door of the sheep explains that He has given us free and unlimited access into His Kingdom through prayer while earth-bound and for all eternity after death.
  4. The Resurrection and the Life teach us that He has guaranteed our eternal life with God.
  5. The Bread of Life tells us that Jesus is the One who spiritually sustains us.
  6. The Light of the world reminds us that through Him we gain spiritual understanding and wisdom for living.
  7. The Way, Truth, and Life explains that He is the only One who can do this for us.
What is the I AM to you today?
