Grace and truth
In the bible of John ,he says in his first chapter in his gospel
“Because the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ,” Jn 1-17
Why did he singly refer to these two attributes in announcing Jesus?
Grace and truth
In these two attributes we can summarize the reason for the coming of Christ
In grace, which is a great gift from a person to another or others, and this is what Christ expresses, he is the gift of God to humans for the sake of the salvaging of their souls from the inevitable fate that man gained when he united and gathered himself with the evil represented by the Devil, his destiny became like Satan in Hell This fate came from Adam, so he came to die for mankind on the wood of the cross and with his death comes down to hell and saves those who died .
He came to atonement for the sins of the people that they did because of the presence of evil in them that had put them under the rule of the Law.
The law of Moses and the prophets, which required the offering of sacrifices and burnt offerings before Jesus Christ coming, so he mentioned before the attribute of grace saying that because the law in Moses was given to give us the idea that Christ was our Savior from the rule of the law if we fell into his sin without shedding blood as a sacrifice because the grace of the Father gave us the sacrifice of atonement On sin when we accept it and take from the blood that forgives sins as stated in the Bible by Matthew in chapter 26 number 28
"For this is my blood of the new covenant which is shed for many for the remission of sins."
And in John 17-2, Jesus says to the Father
"If you give him authority over every body to give eternal life to everyone who you give
And here, it is intended that Christ has authority from the Father to give eternal life to whoever he has, that is, those who believe in him.
So he is the giver and giver of salvation for those who believe in him, and that is the divine grace. Therefore, John the Baptist said that grace has become through him, and he means the grace of salvation from the first sin, so long as he commemorates the death of Jesus Christ and is associated with the honorable life of them by taking His body and blood.
Truth
As for saying the truth, what does it mean and why is the truth exactly?
The word comes from the verb. It deserves any reward for what he did, whether he had good or bad. It is an attribute associated with the ruler or judge in the land and the just religions. God is the Father in Heaven. It is a reference to the presence of the Father in Christ who will judge the inhabited world at the end of the world. In the tongue of Jesus Christ in John 14 verses 9 through 11
"I am in the Father and the Father is in me "
"Who has seen me ,has seen the father "
That is, who will truly judge the world is Jesus, and our teacher John the Bashir says in John 5, Number 22
"Because the Father does not judge anyone, but has given all judgment to the Son."
This indicates that Christ is the judge of humanity and also indicates the necessity to follow what Jesus said and what he taught and what was recommended in all his speeches to his disciples and the crowds, especially in the sermon on the mountain.
