What does the Bible say about the name I Am?

Answered in 9 sources

The name 'I Am' signifies God's eternal and unchanging nature, indicating His existence as the eternal God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

The name 'I Am' is a powerful declaration of God's self-existence and eternal nature, which God revealed to Moses in Exodus 3:14. This name represents the essence of who God is—eternal, unchanging, and sovereign. In John 8:58, Jesus identifies Himself with this name, affirming His divine nature and preexistence before Abraham. By stating 'Before Abraham was, I am,' He shows that He is the eternal God manifest in the flesh, fulfilling the promise of salvation. Understanding this name is crucial for Christians because it reinforces the belief in Jesus as the only true God.
