Three times in Romans 1:14-16, the Apostle Paul uses the phrase “I am,” and each one carries an important message for every true believer in Christ.

"…I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at My mouth, and warn them from Me" (Ezek.33:7).
God's Prophet Ezekiel was appointed as a "watchman" over the house of Israel. He was held responsible to sound the alarm and warn the wicked of Israel from their way. While God must deal justly with sin, He also declared: "I (the Lord) have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live" (Verse 11).
Jesus came to Israel saying, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you REST.” (Matt. 11:28) Jesus first offered His “rest” to Israel, who then was under “the Law” and under Israel’s corrupt religious leaders (Matt. 23:2-4, 33). God offers rest to all those of all dispensational ages who would only ‘trust in Him.’
