By John Owen0JHN 1:4JHN 1:18JHN 14:6ACT 20:32ROM 11:332CO 4:6EPH 4:21PHP 3:8COL 2:9TIT 1:1John Owen emphasizes that the person of Christ is the ultimate source and representation of divine truth, which is essential for understanding God's nature and will. He explains that all truth derives from God, with Christ being the essential image of the Father and the repository of all supernatural truths. Owen argues that without recognizing Christ's central role, spiritual truths lose their light and efficacy, rendering them ineffective in transforming lives. He warns that rejecting Christ leads to a distortion of all other truths, as they are interconnected through Him. Ultimately, true knowledge of divine truth is only possible through a relationship with Christ, who is the life and light of all understanding.
