Exo3:14-15 And God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM. And He said, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you. And God also said to Moses, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial from generation to generation. The second aspect [of God’s calling] is the matter of who God is and of what God is. God is the unique self-existing One. Everything else comes and goes, but God remains. We are not, but God, and God alone, always is....The name of God as revealed to Moses in Exodus 3 is simply the verb to be. This indicates that before anything else came into existence, God was. After so many things have passed out of existence, God will still be. God was, God is, and God will be. As the self-existing One, God is the reality of every positive thing. The Gospel of John reveals that He is all we need: life, light, food, drink, pasture, the way. (Life-study of Exodus, pp. 113-114)
