Freedom

 

Freedom

John 8:31-36

“If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31,32

“Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” John 8:35,36

How can we know God’s truth if we don’t know His words? And how can we know if we are sinning if we do not know God’s commandments. We are all sinners but in James 4:17 it says,” Therefore to him that knows to do good and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin.” In John 3:6 it says, “No one who continues to sin has either seen Him or known Him.” That person is a slave to sin and will not abide in God’s house.

We must always strive to know what God’s words are and be obedient to them. The more we know, the less we sin, and we are free to live in God’s kingdom forever.

Please read the scriptures listed, study them, apply them to your life and grow in the saving relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior.
