Why is it important for Christians to understand the name I AM?

The name I AM encapsulates God's eternal, self-sufficient, and unchanging nature. For Christians, this understanding provides assurance in God’s sovereignty and faithfulness. In the context of Exodus 3 and John 8, it highlights how God’s unchanging character is the foundation of our salvation. It assures believers that the same God who delivered Israel from Egyptian bondage is actively working to free us from the bondage of sin through Jesus Christ, the ultimate embodiment of the I AM, who satisfies all our needs and secures our eternal destiny.
