Who is the great I AM?

Exodus 3:14

14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am.”[a] And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I Am has sent me to you.’” 

When God reveals Himself as “I AM,” He is declaring himself to us. We see God’s description relates to his eternal nature. The best way to describe eternal nature is by  a quality or essence that is unchanging, everlasting, and independent of temporal constraints. Another descriptor is God’s omnipresence (the presence of God everywhere at the same time). This declaration communicates that He is always present, never changing, and fully capable of fulfilling His promises.  So, the great I Am wants us to read and study the word and ask questions. When we study the Bible we are engaging with His powerful aspect of our faith. This helps me to hunger for a deeper relationship with God. So, take time to look up more of the Bible and meditate on His eternal existence and dominion.

Righteous/ Unrighteous 

Righteousness refers to being in right standing with God. It is often characterized by obedience to His commandments. It is justice, love and compassion. It involves aligning one’s actions, thoughts, and intentions with God’s standards. Don’t forget the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. This is how I know when a person is truthful and righteous. 

Unrighteousness, on the other hand, is living contrary to God’s laws and moral standards. It encompasses sin, injustice, and wrongdoing toward God. I usually see it when people are angry all the time. It also reflects a life of disobedience and ethical failure. Unrighteousness also breaks the second great commandment which is loving one’s neighbor as oneself. Luke 10:27

27 He answered, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ ; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

I strive to be more like Jesus.  What does that look like?  It mirrors his qualities and attitudes.

• Loving and Kind: Jesus is the ultimate example of love, embodying  unconditional love to others and  sacrificial love.  Jesus did this  by dying for us.

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

What does the Church mean?

The definition of church is Ekklesia (Called-out ones): Derived from Greek, the term implies an assembly of people called out from the world to belong to the kingdom of God. 

How did Jesus call the disciples to follow him ?  The calling of Jesus’ disciples was very important in the lives of twelve ordinary men who lived and ate with the  Savior of the world for about three years. The special invitation to these men came in a personal and meaningful way.  Peter and Andrew, his brother, were called while they were still fishermen.   Jesus also called other fishermen  James and John. He called a tax collector and a doctor and a betrayer.  He loved the 12 and taught them to love.  The accounts of the disciples’ calling are recorded in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

George Foreman

  According to his website, George Foreman was a professional boxer, entrepreneur, Christian minister, and author. Known in the ring as "Big George," he competed from 1967 to 1997, earning distinction as a two-time world heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist.  While many athletes struggle to find purpose after retirement, Foreman became a business entrepreneur. He is perhaps best known for the George Foreman Grill, a product that sold over 100 million units worldwide. Foreman’s affable nature and genuine charm helped make the grill a household staple. He reportedly made more money from the grill than he did from his entire boxing career—over $200 million from endorsements and naming rights.
