How do we know grace and truth came by Jesus Christ?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible asserts that grace and truth came by Jesus Christ in John 1:17, contrasting the law given by Moses.

John 1:17 states, 'For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.' This verse highlights the transition from the Old Covenant, characterized by the law, to the New Covenant, where grace and truth are manifest in Jesus. The law, while good and holy, ultimately reveals our sinfulness and inability to achieve righteousness on our own. In contrast, Jesus fulfills the law through His perfect obedience and subsequently offers grace to sinners, enabling them to stand justified before God. Thus, Jesus embodies grace and truth, reflecting the fullness of God's mercy and justice.
