About the truth:
Just as John 1:4 said 「In him was life, and that life was the light of the men」,
In Jesus was life, as the image of God, and that life was the light of life of the men who will become to be saved after the creation of the world.
This message of John 1:4 is the message about the spiritual life in God the Son or the Word and becomes the word of truth of God as the origin of the gospel.
So that Jesus himself is to become the word of truth of God. About this, the apostle Paul said at Romans 1:25, 「the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past,」

Such all spiritual life becomes the life living by the name of Jesus.
Thus, the apostle Paul said at Colossians 3:17, 「whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of Jesus」
And through his spiritual life leading by Jesus who

Jesus came with the flesh to the world as a sinner, and at the time of God for him, when the Son of Man, Jesus was baptized by the John the Baptist in the Jordan, God let him born again from his dead spirit due to Adam’s sin as the righteous one through the baptism with the Holy Spirit.
And Jesus, as the righteous one, was saved with the Spirit descending like a dove from on high.
So that Jesus became the new self with the spiritual life in the image of God in order to live with the spiritual knowledge, emotion and will.
And Jesus had been doing his spiritual gospel mission in the world for three years in order to preach the gospel and to teach the gospel to his disciples living by the mind of the flesh.
Through such living of Jesus with the spiritual knowledge, emotion and will, God showed in advance the spiritual life that the children saved of God will live.
Therefor, the life, that the children saved of God preach the gospel to the neighbor, is to becomes the new life living by the message of 「whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of Jesus」
