The self esteem, an unduly high opinion of oneself. This is not what i have thought from the title.
Our Lord, our Saviour Jesus Christ has given us the great affirmation through His word. Never failing promises. A father's assurance to his children. Assurance of God's forgiving Love. Infallible certitude of
of promises!!
"I am", the complete assurance from our Lord!! God said to Moses, "I AM who I AM" (Exodus 3:14 )
Assurance to Moses who have been commissioned by God to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt.
I AM the bread of life (John 6:35)
Our deepest hungers and thirst cannot be fulfilled by the tangible things of this world.
Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John (4:13,14) Amen!!!
I AM the light of the world (John 8:12)
There is darkness in this world. The distress, mourning,perplexity ruin this world. Terrorism, war, adultery, pornography, false religion, its the same darkness everywhere. Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. ( John 3:19) But now we have "the" light of the world.
I AM the gate for the sheep (John 10:7)
He Who defends us and keeps us safe. He is the gate to the sheep and also the gate for the sheep.Our enemies have to cross over our Father to reach us. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. (John 10:28)
I AM the good shepherd. (John 10:11)
The shepherd's job is to provide and protect for the sheep. To be on the right track, we need a shepherd. It is so easy to get lost in our world, to run around doing things. It is so easy to be so busy, that we get tired out
It is so easy to stray, and end up in need of help. That is what God does for us; for God, like a shepherd, helps His sheep.
I AM the resurrection and the life. (John 11:25)
He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.(John 11:25). Anyone who believes in Jesus Christ will live…even though they may fall asleep for a little while, they will live. Are we falling apart from His grace?
Our father wants us to live.
I AM the way and the truth and the life. (John 14:6)
Unless we first receive Him as Savior we cannot truly know the Father. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well (John 14:7)
Truth involves the mind, Life speaks of true experience.Unless we first receive Christ as our Savior, we cannot really experience God. As sinners saved by grace, we still fall into sin and are constantly attacked by Satan, who is always pleading God to give permission to attack us (Luke 22:31-32). If it can happen to Peter, where are we?
Hold onto Him, He is the way, the truth and the life.
I AM the true vine (John 15:1)
Abide in Him, have a unbroken connection with the Vine. our spiritual life will fall apart if we don't actively remain in Christ and produce fruit, A fruitless branches will be cut off.
The Christian walk is much like riding a bicycle; we are either moving forward or falling off. -- Robert Tuttle
God Bless!!!
