Why is the gospel referred to as the Word of Truth?

Answered in 1 source

The gospel is called the Word of Truth because it conveys the accurate and divine message of salvation to the elect.

In the context provided by Ephesians 1:13, the gospel is described as the Word of Truth because it contains the definitive message of God's redemptive plan through Jesus Christ. It is distinct from mere religious opinions and false gospels that do not lead to salvation. Paul emphasizes that genuine faith arises after hearing this specific Word of Truth, which assures believers of their salvation. The Word of Truth conveys not only information but also brings spiritual revelation and conviction, enabling the Holy Spirit to work in the hearts of the elect. Therefore, the gospel is essential as it is God’s intended message that reveals His grace and truth to His chosen people.
