How do we know that grace and truth came through Jesus Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Grace and truth are evidenced through Christ's fulfillment of the law and His sacrificial death.

The declaration that grace and truth came through Jesus Christ (John 1:17) hinges on His identity and mission. The law, given through Moses, highlighted humanity's failings and the need for righteousness, while Christ embodies grace by fulfilling the law's just demands through His atoning sacrifice. This truth is foundational to our understanding of salvation; it shows us that any grace we receive is rooted in a satisfied justice. By shedding His blood, Christ grants us unmerited favor, thus revealing the character of God as both just and merciful. This duality is beautifully captured in the gospel: that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8), exemplifying the depth of grace intertwined with the truth of our condition.
