Disciples, Freedom

Something to think about.

Disciples, Freedom

31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

We all have recited or memorized verse 32. It's almost as if we will know the truth and the truth will set us free by osmosis. In order to know the truth, we must first look at verse 31 "If you abide in my word" then you can be called a disciple, then you will know the truth. To know the truth, we must become intimately aware of Gods word. We cannot arrive at any truth if we don't know the giver of the truth. We must become engulf in and in obedience to all of the teachings of Christ to know the truth and then be set free by it.
