His Truth

Truth is not merely a collection of words or teaching—it is found in the very character and nature of God. Scripture repeatedly declares that God is true and that His word is truth. Yet Jesus also spoke of Himself as the truth, revealing that the truth of God is made known through Him. As we examine these passages together, we see a beautiful connection between the truth belonging to God and the truth revealed in Jesus Christ.
