What does it mean that Christ is 'full of grace and truth'?

Answered in 1 source

Being 'full of grace and truth' refers to Christ embodying God's complete nature, representing both His unmerited favor and His absolute truth.

In John 1:14, the phrase 'full of grace and truth' signifies that Jesus Christ perfectly reveals God's character. Grace reflects His unmerited favor towards sinners, offering redemption and forgiveness, while truth indicates His nature as the ultimate reality, revealing God’s righteousness and holiness. This harmonious blend of grace and truth is found throughout Christ’s ministry, showcasing both compassion for the sinner and the call to follow God’s commandments, providing a fuller understanding of God’s nature and His expectations from humanity.
