I Am

The main theme of the 'I am' sayings is salvation through Christ. These sayings promote various aspects of Jesus' character and deity and simultaneously show how people could resist the gospel because of religious traditions or ideology. In order words the pride produced by self-righteousness can be a major hindrance to a person's salvation. This is because in such instances the individual defines themselves righteous; consequently, the gospel may be seen as an offense to them. Thus the method used to present the Gospel should be one where Christ is the central The Christian faith is not about how much we know. It is not something which we have to learn and understand. It is not about being mindful of a rule book and trying to fit our lives within a rigid structure of laws. Christianity is about turning to Jesus Christ and seeking by our follow him. He desires that we receive him, not simply for what he might give us, but for what he might be for us. Jesus is going to the heart of all human problems. We are beset by questions How can we find meaning in this universe, how can we quiet our troubled souls and find answers to the questions which we face-If we seek the meaning of life.
