“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free"(John 8:32).
The truth will set you free Photo by:sweetenedcondensedmilkblog.blogspot.com |
Jesus said that if we
Believe the truth, then the truth will make us
free. This is an amazing
statement and one that we should bring to our remembrance again and again. In
John chapter 17 verse 17 Jesus tells us exactly what the truth is. He said, my
word is truth. The words of Scripture, both the old and the new Testament, are
truth. And it is believing the truth that we find on the pages of the Bible,
really taking it into our heart and making it a part of who we are as a person,
that makes us free.
Of course this freedom
includes the fundamental freedom from seeing through
the sacrifice of Jesus
Christ. As we believe in him,
and the sacrifice he made on our behalf on the cross, as sins are forgiven and
we walk in right standing with God. Surely there can be no greater freedom than
this." .....The truth will set you free."-John 8:32. Photo by:mvdaily.com |
This freedom the Jesus
promises however does not stop here. In the book Peter, the apostle speaks
about how God has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness.
Everything concerning our life, both natural and spiritual. In the scriptures
we find promises for every area of our life, here and now and on through
eternity. As we take these promises, and internalise these truths, we are set
free.
To be set free in the
realm of finance for example, we need toYes take into our heart and believe the
promises concerning finance. When these are then acted upon and spoken on a
continual basis truth will begin to manifest in that area of our life. The same
is true for our physical body, our relationships, our families, ministry, and
even our nation.
Is Christians it behoves
us to spend time in the scriptures, letting them get down on the inside, into
our heart. In this way God’s word can go to work on our behalf. As we work out in
obedience what he works in through his truth we will truly see miracles taking
place in our lives.
