He is the Truth, as fulfilling all the prophecies of a Savior; believing which, sinners come by Him who is the Way. He is the Life, by whose life-giving Spirit the dead in sin are quickened. Nor can any man draw nigh God as a Father, who is not quickened by Him as the Life, and taught by Him as the Truth, to come by Him as the Way.
By Christ, as the Way, our prayers go to God, and his blessings come to us; this is the Way that leads to His Rest which is His Peace! He is the Resurrection and the Life. All that saw Christ by faith, saw the Father in Him. In the light of Christ's doctrine, they saw God as the Father of lights; and in Christ's miracles, they saw God as the God of power.
The holiness of God shone in the spotless purity of Christ's life. We are to believe the revelation of God to man in Christ; for the works of the Redeemer show forth his own glory, and God in him. MH
What Christ says about us is true because He is the Truth and the Life and the Way... Not what the world says about us which is that we are nothing, worthless sinners with no hope destined to die. In Christ, we know that is the lie that Satan tells and he tells it thinking he will win the battle; but he will not! We know better! We have been made new creations in Christ Jesus and we like Him will overcome this world by walking in the Truth!
I speak the truth in Christ--I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit--Romans 9:1. I say the truth in Christ, I lie not; which refers to being in Christ, a converted person, one born again, and renewed in the spirit of my mind, what I am about to speak is truth, and no lie; for I know that Christ is the God of truth, who is truth itself, I appeal to him as the true God, the searcher of hearts, that what I now deliver is truth, and nothing but truth...
