JOHN 8:31-32 NKJ 31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Many people are afraid that God’s Word will put them in bondage — because of the rules they think they will have to follow. But Jesus said God’s Word would make you free.
Abide means to live, to continue, or to spend time somewhere.
If you continue to spend time in Jesus’ Word — you will know the truth.
When you know the truth, you will act on that knowledge — and acting on the truth will make you free!
The Bible, especially the message of Jesus Christ in the New Testament, will set you free if you continue in it.
We are not guaranteed instant results, although sometimes they do happen. Freedom is certain, however, if you stick with God’s Word. Jesus gave His guarantee!
If you are not enjoying freedom in any area of your life — you have not continued in God’s Word enough in that area. Feed it in: speak it, sing it, read it, write it, think it, dream it!
God’s Word will make me free.
