  • John 14:6 I AM the way, and the truth and the life. - He is our gps to heaven and life here on earth, this verse isn’t subjective- there’s no I have my truth and u have yours, this IS the truth. Psalms 77:13

    I AM- God isn’t and cannot be limited to one thing- heaven & earth aren’t big enough to contain Him- He is what we need- comforter, Healer, Friend, Immanuel etc 😊

Like a blank check- and we fill in the amount of what we need, He is.

SABBATH- His other name right in the command- if we love Him, keep His commandments.
