Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
We have just discussed knowing the truth via His abiding presence, His Word. That is the new thing God had never done before, Christ came into the world and changed everything. We have to take on a whole new way of defining truth. Our perception of truth, to know Him, is to know truth that goes beyond what the world defines as truth.
The Word Became Flesh
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The Word became flesh, wholly God and wholly man, Jesus Christ. Never before did God enter into this world in the form of man, giving up His place in the eternal, being on the throne of heaven, just to be with His creation.
- John 3:16
For God So Loved the World
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. - John 14:31
but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here. - John 17:23
I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.
For the love of God, what do we do now?
- Psalm 25:5
Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. - Psalm 43:3
Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling! - 2 Timothy 2:25
correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth,
