Before Abraham was , I Am!
The key Scripture is John 8:58 : “Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.” — John 8:58 (KJV) Scripture backup John 1:1–3 — “In the beginning was the Word… and the Word was God… All things were made by him.” John 1:14 — “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.” This identifies Jesus as the Word who became flesh. John 17:5 — Jesus speaks of the glory He had with the Father “before the world was.” Colossians 1:16–17 — “By him were all things created… and he is before all things.” Revelation 1:17–18 — Jesus says, “I am the first and the last… I am he that liveth, and was dead.” Micah 5:2 — The Messiah’s origins are described as being “from everlasting.” Main declaration: Jesus did not begin to exist when He was born in Bethlehem. Before Abraham existed, Jesus declared, “I AM.”
