Bible Verses About I AM That I AM: 12

"God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: "I AM has sent me to you."'"

— Exodus 3:14 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about I AM that I AM want Scripture on Exodus 3:14's ehyeh asher ehyeh — the burning-bush self-revelation "I AM WHO I AM" / "I AM THAT I AM" — not only the broader I AM inventory alone or the path title I am the way alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about I AM, Bible verses about I am the way, Bible verses about Yahweh, Bible verses about the living God, Bible verses about Jehovah Jireh, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about God's love, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about Christ, Bible verses about worship, Bible verses about salvation, and Bible verse of the day. I AM that I AM here means the ehyeh asher ehyeh bush-name revelation — distinct from the wider Johannine "I am he" set and from the way/truth/life path inventory alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה ehyeh asher ehyeh builds on הָיָה hayah (Strong's H1961; Bible Hub H1961) — to be / become. Exodus 3:14 is the classic self-naming: I AM WHO I AM; I AM has sent me to you. This list tracks that bush-name ehyeh revelation and related "I am God / I am the LORD / that is my name" speech that presses the same Being — not the full Johannine "I am he" twelve on I AM and not the I am the way path inventory alone.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Exodus 3 presses that God names himself I AM THAT I AM — self-existent, eternal, and sufficient (Bible Hub MHC Exodus 3; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Exodus 3). (The wider I AM hub and I-am-the-way path live on those pages; this list centers ehyeh asher ehyeh.)

Questions people ask

What is a good Bible verse about I AM that I AM?

Exodus 3:14 (I AM WHO I AM) is the clear starting place; Exodus 3:13 and Isaiah 42:8 press the name-question and "that is my name" speech.

How do Bible verses about I AM that I AM differ from I AM alone?

The I AM hub gathers burning-bush plus Johannine "I am he" speech. This list centers ehyeh asher ehyeh — the bush self-naming and related "I am God / that is my name" Being speech — without reusing that page's exclusive Johannine twelve.

What Hebrew words sit under I AM that I AM?

Hayah (H1961) — to be; ehyeh asher ehyeh in Exodus 3:14.

Why isn't John 8:58 or Mark 14:62 on this page?

Those exclusive Johannine / trial "I am" leads stay on I AM so the two hubs stay distinct (this page shares only the title Exodus 3:14).

Where should I start if I only read one page?

Start here for I AM that I AM; open I AM for the wider set; open Yahweh for the Tetragrammaton Name.
