Grace and truth are two ends of the tension that God has had to navigate to bring us into relationship with him. Because of our sin the gospel proclaims that we deserve to die. This is truth. But because of God’s love God does not want us to die. So in his grace God provided a way for us not to have to. Jesus’ incarnation is God’s way. The gospel proclaims the God who satisfied his truth through his love and grace. Jesus’ incarnation proclaims the God who gives himself to give to those who have nothing on their own.
The Word: God from whom all blessings flow
