We know Jesus' counsel is true because He is the eternal Son of God who embodies truth and has complete authority over life and spiritual matters.
The truthfulness of Jesus' counsel is rooted in His divine nature as the eternal Son of God. John 14:6 states, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life.' This declaration asserts that all Jesus teaches is consistent with the character of God, as He is one with the Father. He possesses the perfect understanding of both divine and human aspects, making His guidance infallible.
Furthermore, Jesus' spiritual authority and His fulfilled prophecies serve as evidence of His truthfulness. The Word of God confirms that His counsel leads to salvation and the flourishing of soul, reflecting the very nature of God’s Word, which is true and powerful (Hebrews 4:12). Therefore, we can trust that when we seek counsel from Christ, we receive guidance that aligns with God’s eternal wisdom.
