Truth

Jesus came, full of grace and truth. John 1:14. “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth.” John 16:13.

Jesus came with perfection, with all truth, with all the truths of life, with all the virtues, with light about all of God’s attributes and about everything that is in His mind and being.

If our great delight is to be led, the Holy Spirit can and will and can lead us into all truth—far, far away from all the ways of sin, from everything that displeases God, from everything that is not in agreement with His mind and being.

It is obviously very difficult to partake of something that is so indescribably exalted! It is so incredibly easy to be wrong, so that it is almost unbelievable what people can imagine the Spirit has led them to.

This is precisely the reason for having the exhortation to obey our leaders—if we have them. And they cannot but be someone who was willing to be led by the Spirit to a godly life, to a far greater extent than to which we were willing to be led. Unfortunately, such people have been extremely few throughout the ages.

Jesus came with all the truth and was full of grace, which is the help that everyone needs so that partaking of all of life’s truths can really be achieved! Then we are quite simply, being transformed! We become His followers; we become like Him.

“If you abide in My word, you are My disciples [students, apprentices] indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32. What follows shows us with all clarity from what we are then—and not otherwise—set free: namely, committing sin.

Therefore this is what we are called to and what is fully achievable, and which succeeds for everyone irrespective of how wretched he may be, if he fulfills the conditions!

Therefore, he will achieve it if he immerses himself in God’s Word and abides in it, that is, in all the words of the new life.

Precisely because the Word is absolutely true, it is impossible to abide in the Word without being set free from committing sin.
