The name 'I Am' signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and is first revealed in Exodus 3:14.
In Exodus 3:14, God reveals Himself to Moses with the name 'I Am' which signifies His eternal, unchanging nature. This declaration indicates that God exists independently of all creation, and it emphasizes His sovereignty and authority over all things. The importance of this name is further illuminated in the New Testament, where Jesus frequently identifies Himself with the 'I Am' claims, reinforcing His divinity and the continuity of God's revelation from the Old Testament to the New Testament.
