Many believe the Bible is about an external God far above, but when read with spiritual insight, it reveals a profound inner truth: I AM — your own consciousness — is the saviour.
The Bible boldly declares this throughout. It’s not hidden — it’s everywhere, from the Old Testament to the words of Jesus himself.
Old Testament “I AM” Declarations
-
I AM WHO I AM (Exodus 3:14)
"God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM.' And he said, 'Say this to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.'"
This is the foundational revelation of God’s name: pure awareness, unconditioned being.
-
I AM the LORD your God (Exodus 20:2)
"I AM the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage."
-
I AM the LORD, and there is no other (Isaiah 45:5-6)
"I AM the LORD, and there is no other; besides me there is no God."
-
I AM the LORD who heals you (Exodus 15:26)
"I AM the LORD who heals you."
-
I AM the LORD who sanctifies you (Leviticus 20:8)
"I AM the LORD who sanctifies you."
-
I AM with you (Genesis 28:15)
"Behold, I AM with you and will keep you wherever you go."
-
I, even I, AM the LORD (Isaiah 43:11)
"I, even I, AM the LORD, and besides me there is no saviour."
-
I AM He who blots out your transgressions (Isaiah 43:25)
"I, even I, AM He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake."

Be still, and know that I AM God (Psalm 46:10)
"Be still, and know that I AM God."
-
I AM the LORD your God who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go (Isaiah 48:17)
Jesus’ “I AM” Statements in the New Testament
In the Gospel of John especially, Jesus makes powerful “I AM” statements — each revealing the divine presence within you:
-
I AM the bread of life (John 6:35)
-
I AM the light of the world (John 8:12)
-
Before Abraham was, I AM (John 8:58) — here, he directly uses the divine name.
-
I AM the door (John 10:9)
-
I AM the good shepherd (John 10:11)
-
I AM the resurrection and the life (John 11:25)
-
I AM the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6)
-
I AM the true vine (John 15:1)
In Revelation, he continues:
-
I AM the Alpha and the Omega (Revelation 1:8, 1:17, 22:13)
-
I AM the first and the last (Revelation 1:17)
And he promises:
-
I AM with you always (Matthew 28:20)
The True Teaching: “I AM” Saves
These aren’t poetic flourishes. Each “I AM” statement calls you to realise that your own awareness is divine and creative.
When Jesus says, I AM the way, he is not talking about an external worship practice — he is revealing that your own assumed state of being is the way to transformation.
When he says, I AM the resurrection, he is showing that by assuming I AM a new person (I AM healed, I AM prosperous, I AM joyful), you resurrect yourself into a new life.
The Bible repeats: I AM is the power, the saviour, and the source. It is your consciousness — the awareness that declares I AM, before you add any condition.
A Living Invitation
Instead of waiting for something outside to save you, Scripture invites you to take responsibility: choose consciously what you claim as I AM.
When you declare I AM free, I AM loved, I AM whole, you use the divine name to transform your world.
