The 7 I AM statements

So, I love the I am statements in the Bible cause Jesus is calling himself God over and over again. Because in Exodus 3:14, ¹⁴ God said to Moses, “I am who I am.^[c] This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” To the Jews, I AM was God and God only...

Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty. (John 6:35)

• Statement 1 tells us that Jesus is the One who spiritually sustains us.

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)

• In statement 2 we learn that through Him we gain spiritual understanding and wisdom for living.

I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture. (John 10:9)

• Statement 3 explains that He has given us free and unlimited access to His Kingdom.

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” (John 10:11)

• Statement 4 shows how He did this by paying our entrance fee with His life

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.” (John 11:25-26)

• In statement 5 we learn that whether we die before the rapture or are taken live in it, He has guaranteed our eternal life with God.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)

• Statement 6 explains that He is the only one who can do this for us.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)

• Statement 7 reveals that for the balance of our life on Earth, the things we do in His strength, out of gratitude for what He’s done for us, are the only things that matter.
