Introduction
It’s a great joy and privilege to delve deeply into the Word of God, allowing it to shape our thoughts, govern our decisions, and guide our steps. As life presents challenging situations, it’s crucial for us to have an anchor in the truth of what God says about Himself and His promises for us. Today, we explore one such foundational statement from God – Exodus 3:14, a verse that not only addresses who God is, but also who we are in relation to Him.
This study journey is not just about gaining knowledge, but rather about transforming our lives through the transformative power of God’s Word. Let’s engage with this verse together, discovering fresh insights and practical applications that will inspire us to live more fully for God’s glory.
Bible Verse
Exodus 3:14 reads, “God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM.'”
Meaning
The context of this verse is important. When Moses asked God what he should say to the Israelites when they ask about His name, God simply answered, ‘I AM WHO I AM’. The phrase speaks of the self-existence, self-sufficiency, and eternal unchangeableness of God. He is who He is, regardless of our understanding, perceptions, or circumstances.
This divine declaration represents God’s self-identification and reveals the timeless, unchanging, and dependable nature of God. He is the constant in an ever-changing world, the timeless One, the absolute and inexhaustible source of life and being.
Learning and internalizing this aspect of God’s identity can drastically shift our understanding of who we are, because we derive our identity from Him. We are His creation, called according to His purpose, and kept by His unfailing love.
Actions to Take
- Read and reflect on God’s ‘I AM’ statements in both the Old and New Testaments.
- Rest in the truth of God’s unchangeableness; whatever He has promised, He will do.
