Jesus is God in the flesh. Jesus is "I AM"
So many people place the emphasis on their faith in their own belief, instead of in Jesus himself and who he is, and the faithfulness of God and what He did on the cross.
For example, many wrongly believe that if they ask for forgiveness from God, God will forgive them, instead of believing (agreeing) that God already forgave them on the cross for all of their sins (ALL sins - past, present and future sins) nearly 2000 years ago. For we know, "without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." Hebrews 9:22 The first example is the person believing in their belief system. Whereas the person that is trusting in God to have done the work is placing faith in Jesus and what Jesus did on the cross for them.
"But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." Romans 4:5
Worthy is Jesus
"Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing." Revelation 5:12
Jesus is "I AM"
"Jesus said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM."
---
The Jews knew Jesus was claiming to be God and that Jesus had existed before Abraham was even born. They also knew the story of Moses and how God spoke with Moses on the mountain. What God said to Moses is recorded for us in Exodus 3:14.
And God said unto Moses, "I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."
