Jesus is the truth as He is the fulfillment of God's revelation and the only source of salvation.
We know Jesus is the truth because He consistently affirmed His divine identity and role in the redemptive plan of God. In John 8:24, He warns that unless one believes that He is the 'I Am', they will die in their sins, signifying the necessity of recognizing His divinity. Furthermore, His life and teachings demonstrated perfect alignment with God's character and truth. His sacrificial death on the cross was the fulfillment of divine prophecy and provided true atonement for sin, validating His claim as the savior of His people. Therefore, believers affirm that Jesus is indeed the truth, as His very nature and work reveal God's redemptive purpose.
