The Word of Christ is Gracious


John 1:17 ~  For the Law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

We can see that there are two camp in this verse from the Book of John. One is Moses' camp while the other one is Jesus' camp. Law is with Moses and grace and truth is with Jesus.

In the original Greek, grace and truth is singular which means grace and truth cannot be divided. We cannot say we want truth and we do not want grace and we cannot say we want grace only and we do not want truth. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

As such, the Word of Christ spoken by the resurrected Jesus is the Gospel and is also Grace because Word of Christ talks about the Finished Work of Christ... Apostle Paul reminded that faith only come through hearing the word of Christ.
