 He said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. He said, you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. And many other verses besides that you already know. I know that you know these things. So the way I look at it is because Jesus wants us to know the truth and live in the truth. And he wants us to be united as he prays in John 17 in his high priestly prayer. Father, may they be one as you and I are one.
