“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14
Grace and truth go together. Grace signifies love and good will, truth signifies sincerity and integrity. Jesus Christ came full of grace and truth(John 1:14) and grace and truth came through Him (John 1:17). He had a fulness of compassion and a fulness of knowledge qualifying Him to intercede and instruct. He was kind, merciful, gracious. He declared truth and represented things as they are.
Grace bestows what we need and truth teaches all our ignorance requires. We by our own nature do not know grace and truth, but when we believe in Him we become partakers of them. Through Jesus we have all the blessings and promises of grace and truth.
