For there is [only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus. (1 Timothy 2:5)
Jesus said to him, “I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." (John 14:6)
Jesus is the path to God. He is the only way to be reconciled with the Father (God Most High) and receive salvation.
Jesus embodies divine truth and is the source of all truth.
Jesus offers eternal life with Him. Jesus Christ is the ultimate embodiment of truth, as we are rooted and grounded in the truth revealed in His message.
But Jesus replied, “It is written and forever remains written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT COMES OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD." ( Matthew 4:4) This is the message [of God’s promised revelation] which we have heard from Him and now announce to you, that God is Light [He is holy, His message is truthful, He is perfect in righteousness], and in Him there is no darkness at all [no sin, no wickedness, no imperfection]. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness [of sin], we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we [really] walk in the Light [that is, live each and every day in conformity with the precepts of God], as He Himself is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another [He with us, and we with Him], and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin [by erasing the stain of sin, keeping us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations. (1 John 1:5-7)
The sum of Your word is truth [the full meaning of all Your precepts], And every one of Your righteous ordinances endures forever. (Psalm 119:160)
I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie [nothing false, no deception] is of the truth. (1 John 2:21) Sanctify them in the truth [set them apart for Your purposes, make them holy]; Your word is truth. (John 17:17)
And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. (Romans 8:28)
As for God, His way is blameless. The word of the LORD is tested [it is perfect, it is faultless]; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. (Psalm 18:30)
Every word of God is tested and refined [like silver]; He is a shield to those who trust and take refuge in Him. (Proverbs 30:5)
For the word of the LORD is right; And all His work is done in faithfulness. (Psalm 33:4)
And now, O Lord GOD, You are God, and Your words are truth, and You have promised this good thing to Your servant. (2 Samuel 7:28)
God is spirit [the Source of life, yet invisible to mankind], and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. (4:24) To worship God in truth is to come to God through Christ, the one who reveals the Father.
Worship in truth requires that our understanding and practice of worship be grounded in the truths revealed in His message. By focusing on the message and the truth of Jesus Christ.
God desires that we His children worship Him in spirit. That is, He doesn't want mindless and empty rituals just on sunday to define our relationship with Him. He wants complete devotion and a genuine motivation to please Him.
