MESSAGE
All titles of GOD means the self existence of God. He Who was, Who is and Who will be always. The origin and the essential quality of life, the only true life, existence, the One without Whom there shall be no existence at all, the only One who has existence that is self derived.Let us take time to study the titles of GOD in stages,GOD in His infite power,dominion and authority reveals to us in the Bible who He was and who He His and His abilities.
I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE
Jesus said in John 6:35. “I am the bread of life”. He alone is able to satisfy the greatest spiritual hunger in your life. Have you come to Him and ate His bread and drank His blood? There is no other way to have life. Do you go to Him daily and eat the bread of life? Do not starve spiritually ,you do need to eat at His table daily.
I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
Jesus said, “I am the light of the world” John 8:12; 9:5. He healed a blind man groping in darkness and then opened his spiritual eyes so he could see the great I AM and worship Him. Jesus is the only light you need to guide you into God’s holy presence. All other “lights” are evil in nature and will only lead you into eternal darkness.
I AM THE DOOR
Jesus said that He is the only door into God’s presence. He said, “I am the door” John 10:7, 9. All other doors lead down the wrong path and to eternal destruction. Jesus is the entrance into eternal life Acts 4:12.
John 10:9: "I AM the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture." The point of Jesus' statement "I am the door" is that the Pharisees were rejecting their only access to God. Jesus later put it another way when He said "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but by Me." (John 14:6).
I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD
Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd” John 10:11, 14. Jesus is the only Good Shepherd. He will take you by the hand and led you into the Father’s presence and give you His nourishment.
John 8:58 Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."John 10:11: "I AM the good shepherd.
The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine “.
I AM THE RESURRECTION
John 11:25: Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection’’ and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live.
Now it is with the raising of Lazarus that Jesus says, "I am the resurrection and the life." He not only raises the dead, but he is the resurrection.
I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH
John 14:6: Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Jesus is the truth. Not just some truth but the entire truth. He is God’s definitive and perfect Word expressing who God is, what He’s like, who we are, and what we need to do to be saved from misery and futility.
I AM THE TRUE VINE
John 15:1-8
1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already made clean by the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned.
7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.
IAM GOD OF YOUR FATHERS
Genesis 46:3 "I am God, the God of your father," the voice said. "
Acts 7:32: Stephen speaking of Moses' encounter at the burning bush "saying, 'I am the God of your fathers-- the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' And Moses trembled and dared not look."
And he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face,
Finally beloved, Jesus conquered death. Not only did He say, “I am the resurrection and life” in John 11:25-26, but He rose from the dead to prove it. In fact, this is the great evidence that Jesus Christ is the great I AM THAT I AM. He died, was buried, and three days later rose from the dead. Because He is alive, He can give the resurrection life. This is our hope in the face of death. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life” John 14:6. Only God can claim that. Furthermore, He sustains our spiritual life because He is the True Vine, the only way, and the giver of life. Jesus said, “I am the True Vine” John 15:1, 5.
