God is truth itself (John 3:33; 8:26; 1 John 5:10), and therefore God's word is truth also (John 17:17). In a similar way Jesus identifies himself with his words so closely that he personifies his word: "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day" (John 12:48). Jesus speaks of his word as if it is an actual person, i.e. himself.
Mungu ni kweli yenyewe (Yn. 3: 33; 8: 26; 1Yoh. 5: 10), na kwa sababu hii neno la Mungu ni kweli pia (Yn. 17: 17). Kwa jinsi hii Yesu mwenyewe anajitambulisha kwa maneno yake yanayokaribiana sana hata neno lake analitamka kama vile ni mtu:"Yeye anikataaye mimi, asiyeyakubali maneno yangu, anaye amhukumuye; neno hilo nililonena ndilo litakalo mhukumu siku ya mwisho"(Yn. 12: 48). Yesu anatamka neno lake kama ni mtu hasa, yaani, mwenyewe.
