Overview
When God appeared to Moses at the burning bush, He revealed His name as "I Am That I Am" (Exodus 3:14), emphasizing His eternal existence and self-sufficiency. Jesus applied this same title to Himself, claiming the divine name and demonstrating His equality with God the Father, which was central to His identity and messianic mission.
