I Am

The perfect way to know Jesus comes through the experience of practicing one's faith. However, the reality of Jesus may first be confidently deduced from logic, the Bible, and the analysis of nature. The tangible evidence from the physical world establishes God as the First Cause of all things. The author points out the flaws in scientific inferences of a godless universe and shows how the detailed design in nature can only come from a source external to nature-God the Creator, who always was, is, and ever will be. He develops the further evidence for Jesus from biblical history and prophecy, much of which is historically and archeologically proven and none of which is disproven.

Jesus, the God-Man of the Bible predicted by the Old Testament prophets, came to earth from heaven. The life and teachings of Jesus include His claim of eternal deity and His resolve to lay down His life to save humans from their sin. Like God the Father, Jesus as the Son of God said "I AM" in many ways. His claims were meant to give assurance to believers of His love for humanity and His power to save. The ultimate miracle of Jesus came through His resurrection, while the detailed reporting of eyewitnesses and historians gave testimony of its veracity.

The book delves into examples of human moral codes and philosophy versus God's perfect laws. Humans have a long history of doing what seems right in their own sight. Mankind has failed God throughout history and desperately needs Jesus, the Savior. The urgency of the gospel of Christ hinges on the acceptance or rejection of God's one and only Son. For those who receive Jesus, the eternally-resurrected Jesus gives resurrection and eternal life. Furthermore, the believer can know whom he believes by committing to follow Christ under Jesus' instruction as found in the Christian Bible. Submitting to Jesus will result in the peace that transcends all understanding, even as one walks in communion with Jesus Himself. The promises of the Scriptures become real, one's peace in Christ becomes real, and Jesus proves to be a real friend.
