but check out the relationship there, where it leads you, and the one v by itself.
(discounting the idiomatic use of the word "light" in the last one, Deut.)
The light?

I am the light.

As it is written;

"The Lord shall be your light forever (Israel), your God shall be your glory."


I am the light of the world no one who follows me shall ever walk in darkness for they will posses the light of life.

however, note the freaky stuff going on in Daniel, where a "Book of Truth" is mentioned--in some translations, anyway, while not in others (note the "forward/back" arrows, upper left, to toggle for parallel versions, go forward, i think, after clicking the Daniel v, the first one, and note Book of Truth only appears in the HCS? so far? hmm)

The Book is not Truth

and the same arrow treatment for the Cor v, check this one out, let this one v wash over you, wherein i cannot now even find the Book and the Truth in the same verse, neither in toggling, not in parallel search (it is in there, in some translation, but get the point, which the verse itself is pretty much screaming at us imo)

edit; ok, the arrows are not surviving now, do it yourself, and see what you will see. i don't feel like editing anymore. ty.
I am the truth.

"Whoever is of the truth hears my voice."

note that your search will be hindered because we have a homonym for Word, that being word, or words. but i know now that the Book is not the Word, wadr.

The Book is the Law.

The Book is not Grace.

The Book is not Christ,
but note the reflections provided

The Book is not the Gospel,
but note that Gospel and another book are conflated

and

The Book is not the Word,
although It is full of words, and although the fact that the Book is not the Word is cleverly, deliberately, disguised,
and is actually quite difficult to discern; until one puts "Book" in the place of any occurrence of any of the words
"Word, Gospel, Truth, Christ, or Pneuma,"

ie

IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE BOOK, AND THE BOOK WAS WITH GOD, AND THE BOOK WAS GOD

Where we can note that every other expression of Word fits in there just fine.
I am the law.

As it is written;

"The law will be sent from Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Your righteousness (Lord) is an everlasting righteousness and your law is the truth."

i dislike how these shoulder aside your Creator, but i am likely just hearing with different definitions. Iow, if you are all of those, you need never rebound, man up, admit any mistakes, and seek to right your wrongs. you can do no wrong, in that model?

The Lord and I are One.

The Lord who sent me commanded me what to say and how to speak and since I know His commandment is eternal life what I say is spoken just as He instructed me.

I came down from heaven to do the will of Him who sent me. Anyone who chooses to do His will shall know about this teaching, namely, if it comes from God or I am speaking on my own.
Whoever speaks on his own seeks his own glory but he who seeks the glory of the One who sent him is truthful and there is no unrighteousness in him.

If you are one with the Lord---Who is the God that Jesus taught to all?

that's easy:
1) Belief in Christ as God and Messiah as the promised subjective substitute: his perfection for my imperfection
“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” ~ Jesus
......... how do we get life in exchange? The foolishness of Christ crucified:
"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness.
By his wounds you have been healed."
2) To go through out the world making disciples in the name of the Triune\Deity God till the world's end:
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” ~ Jesus
3) The Bible is what God the Holy Spirit uses which works the saving power in the hearts of people:
"these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." John 20:31
