Paragraph 1. I BELIEVE IN GOD
211
The divine name, “I Am” or “He Is”, expresses God’s
faithfulness: despite the faithlessness of men’s sin and the punishment it
deserves, he keeps “steadfast love for thousands”.21 By going
so far as to give up his own Son for us, God reveals that he is “rich in
mercy”.22 By giving his life to free us from sin, Jesus reveals
that he himself bears the divine name: “When you have lifted up the Son of
man, then you will realize that “I AM”.”23
