Revelation through Christ

THROUGH Christ Jesus came every revelation of truth to the world. Was the truth of God revealed through the seers of ancient times?—It was the Spirit of Christ which was in them that testified. 1 Peter 1:10, 11. He was the Word in the beginning; from the beginning, He is still the Word, because the Word all came through Him. See John 1:1-3; 1 Cor. 8:6.

If Christ had not offered Himself for man, man would have been forever left in the darkness of moral midnight. His sin was revealed in its heinousness, that God's grace might be revealed in its richness and beauty.

God's revelation of His truth to us through Christ, in whatever form or way that truth may come, is a revelation of God's love, and should call forth from our hearts responsive gratitude, love, and faithfulness. Says Jesus, "If ye love Me, keep My commandments," and the result of thus manifesting our love is that He will reveal more light; for He continues, "And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter; . . . even the Spirit of truth." John 14:15-17. If we truly believe in Christ, we accept of all His Word.
