In Exodus 3:14, God says Himself that His name is simply “I am,” neither more nor less. According to the tradition often called classical theism, God is the only one who exists in Himself.

We only have existence because we participate in God, in a kind of ‘improper’ manner. We only have existence because God shares His with us.
