John 1:14-18
There are several definitions for grace and some are, “favor (Genesis 6:8). It is God’s free and undeserved love that never quits (Ephesians 2:8). Grace is the gift of God that comes as eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23)”. Student’s Bible Dictionary (P. 106). Then there is the profound definition of grace as God’s Righteousness at Christ’s Expense. All definitions of grace paint a profound picture of God’s love for mankind and the unity that exist between the Father and Son. This is because Jesus Christ-the Son willingly came to earth to be the human sacrifice in bridging the spiritual divide between man and God. This is love in action by God and His Son all who believe will have eternal life—salvation. It is noteworthy to say that salvation does not come by man’s action, but by the Holy Spirit and Christ coming into the believer’s life thus making all believers a new creature in Christ.

Through Christ grace and truth is available in its fullest extent according to Romans 5:17-21 to all mankind who believe. Then what is truth? Truth is an actual fact not what claims to be the truth or appears to be truth. Then God is the source of all truth and John 14:6 states that “Jesus is the way, the truth and the life”. This mean then that man’s existence is grounded in Jesus Christ; Christ is the way to the Father and all life exists in Jesus.
