📖 Bible Study: Jesus Is Grace, Jesus Is Truth
🔑 Key Verse
📖 John 1:14 (ESV)
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
This verse is a cornerstone for understanding who Jesus is—not just in what He teaches, but in what He embodies.
✨ 1. Jesus Is Grace
📌 Definition:
Grace is God’s undeserved favor—His love and kindness freely given to us, not because we earned it, but because He is good.
📖 Key Scriptures:
- Ephesians 2:8-9
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God…”
- Romans 5:8
“But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
- 2 Timothy 1:9
“He has saved us… not because of anything we have done but because of His own purpose and grace.”
💡 Reflect:
- Jesus didn’t wait until we had it all together—He came for us in our brokenness.
- His grace means you don’t have to earn His love—it’s already yours.
✨ 2. Jesus Is Truth
📌 Definition:
Truth is what is real, unchanging, and trustworthy. Jesus doesn’t just speak truth—He is the Truth.
📖 Key Scriptures:
- John 14:6
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
- John 8:31-32
“If you abide in My word… you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
- Hebrews 13:8
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
💡 Reflect:
- Jesus is the unchanging truth in a world full of shifting opinions and confusion.
- His truth frees you, grounds you, and leads you into the life God designed for you.
🧠 Grace and Truth Together
Jesus doesn’t balance grace and truth—He fully embodies both at the same time.
| Grace without truth | Leads to permissiveness (no change or accountability) |
|---|---|
| Truth without grace | Leads to condemnation (harsh judgment, no love) |
| Grace + Truth in Jesus | Leads to transformation—He loves us as we are, but doesn’t leave us as we are. |

In Your name I pray,
Amen.

✍️ Poem: Jesus Is Grace, Jesus Is Truth
Jesus is grace—pure, flowing and free,
A gift from the throne, poured out for me.
Not earned by works, nor bought with gold,
But love untamed, deep and bold.
Jesus is truth—forever the same,
The Word made flesh, the holiest name.
He speaks and the shadows flee from sight,
He stands as the way, the truth, the light.
Grace for the sinner, arms open wide,
Truth for the seeker, nothing to hide.
In Him is mercy, rich and kind,
In Him, the answers souls must find.
Jesus is grace—He bore my sin,
Jesus is truth—I’m made new in Him.
The cross, the crown, the empty grave—
In grace and truth, He came to save.
