How do we know that Christ is the fullness of grace and truth?
Answered in 1 source
Scripture affirms that grace and truth came through Jesus Christ, revealing God's character and plan for redemption.
In John 1:17, it is stated that while the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. This highlights a significant shift: the law demonstrates God’s holy standards and the need for justice, whereas Jesus personifies God’s grace and truth. He brings an understanding of grace as God's disposition towards sinners, embodying grace itself. The fullness of God's glory and grace is revealed in Jesus, making Him the ultimate expression of divine love and truth for the elect. Those who belong to Him experience this fullness continually, affirming the nature of God as gracious and just.
