The Truth Is Our Liberty and Freedom

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32)

1) You will know the truth. 2) The truth shall set you free.

To have knowledge of the truth is not enough, one must abide in it. We must not only know, believe and have faith in the truth, we must strive to become it, applying its principles and precepts every waking moment of our life.

Knowledge and awareness of the truth is not enough. Even the devils know and believe in God and tremble! (James 2:19) But they do not abide in Him nor continue in His word.

To have knowledge of the truth and then ignore it, is a conscience act and a personal decision. Denying the truth in Jesus Christ will enslave us to sin and sentence us to death.

The truth is our liberty and dominion over sin and evil.

Jesus said, “Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” (John 8:34-36)

Jesus is the way, our course and conduct. Jesus is the truth, absolute and total. Jesus is the life, essential, ethical and eternal.
