I Am Before Abraham

"Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am."  John 8:58.  The words of Jesus are spoken with truth.  No lie ever came from His lips.  His words must be heard.  And this word is vital to our salvation.  "I am." says Jesus.  Jesus declares His eternal nature to His hearers.  He was before Abraham.  Jesus was with God when the blessing was given to Abraham.  Jesus would be the fulfillment of that promise made to Abraham.  Jesus is the eternal God.  He existed with the Father from the very beginning.  Jesus is ageless.  Before He was born upon the earth, He lived.  He has always been and will be forever.  The belief of this truth is necessary for our redemption.  We believe in Jesus that He is the eternal life which became human that He might save us from our sins.  The eternity of Jesus is the foundation stone of our faith.  Death could not destroy Him, as it will not destroy us.  Through faith in Jesus Christ we receive eternal life through the eternal One.  Only one who is eternal can bestow eternal life.  Jesus, who was before Abraham, provides life without measure.
