Exodus 3:14
God said to Moses, I AM who I AM. Say this to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.

When God had the opportunity to give Himself a name so that His people would know who He was, He didn’t answer with a typical one. Instead, He answered with His eternal nature. Because He knew if He gave them any name, it would quickly become an idol. So, the name He gave them was infused with who He really was, and is, and always will be… the Great I AM.

Isaiah 46:9
Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God and there is none like Me.

There are about 8 billion people in the world, but even if you got to meet each and every one, no one would be like God. He is perfect. And if you forget how incredible He is, just look at His track record. It’s filled with His miraculous provision, unconditional love, and divine forgiveness because He is a God who always keeps His promises.

1 Corinthians 13:3
If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

You could give everything you have to the poor, and God says you would still gain nothing. Because giving isn’t just about sharing what you have in your hands or around your house, it’s about sharing what you have in your heart. And if your heart is looking for praise, Paul says, don’t do it. Giving should always be motivated by love.

Matthew 16:26
What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul.

Jim Carrey once said, I wish everyone could get rich and famous and have everything they ever dreamed of, so they could see that’s not the answer. So, even if you gained the whole world, the Bible says without God, you still come up empty. But if you do the opposite and empty yourself for God, Jesus says you’ll gain in every way.

Psalm 90:12
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

When you take a minute and number your days, you realize you may not have as many as you think. And hopefully, that will cause you to gain more understanding and wisdom with the time you do have on earth. What will you do with your days?

Philippians 1:21
For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Whether Paul lived or died, his focus was on one thing… Christ. If he died, he knew he would be with Jesus for the rest of eternity. If he lived, his focus was living for Jesus by sharing the Gospel with anyone and everyone he met. To Paul, it really was that simple. Let’s learn to let our focus for living and dying be all about Christ.
