And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, Deuteronomy 31:24 KJV
and
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Ephesians 1:13 KJV

John Mushenhouse Rasiah Thomas Kyle Williams NOT that Philip Williams would know this one BUT still The theological difference between the “word of the law” and the “word of truth” lies in the distinction between Old Testament law and New Testament gospel:
Word of the Law
Old Testament Focus: Refers to the commandments and laws given to Moses and the Israelites (e.g., Ten Commandments).
Purpose: To guide moral conduct and establish a covenant between God and His people.
Nature: Often seen as prescriptive and regulatory, setting standards for holiness.
Word of Truth
New Testament Focus: Embodies the message of the gospel, centered on Jesus Christ.
Purpose: To reveal God’s grace, salvation, and the fulfillment of the law through faith in Christ.
Nature: Emphasizes grace, freedom, and truth, as well as a personal relationship with God.
Key Difference
The primary distinction is that the “word of the law” is about adherence to rules and regulations, whereas the “word of truth” focuses on faith, grace, and a spiritual transformation through Jesus.
