In Jesus in the Present Tense, Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe explores the “I AM” statements of God—from His burning bush conversation with Moses, to His powerful reassurances to the Israelites, to Jesus’s startling claim to be the Light of the World.
 
Many Christians find themselves mired in past regrets or future fears, but the name of God itself reminds readers that God wants them to live in the present. The more readers understand and apply God’s I AM statements from the Old and New Testaments, the more they will realize God’s peace and joy. Then they will be free to live, serve, and know God more richly in the present tense—which is just where He wants them to be.

“The conclusion is obvious: The better we know the Lord, the more we will love Him, and the more we love Him, the more we will worship and obey Him. As a result, we will become more like Him and experience what the apostle Peter called growing ‘in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ’ (2 Peter 3:18).” (source)

“When man’s tradition replaces God’s Word, then illusion replaces reality. We glory in the past but never grow in the present.” (source)

“The word translated ‘good’ in ‘good shepherd’ carries the meanings of ‘noble, praiseworthy, desirable, and pleasing to God.’ Jesus qualifies.” (source)

“One of the key words in John’s gospel is life, used at least thirty-six times; and the seven I AM statements all relate to John’s theme of spiritual life in Christ.” (source)

“We were created in God’s image that we might have fellowship with Him now and ‘enjoy Him forever,’” (source)
