161: The Truth will set you free | John 8:32

The Truth will set you free. Jesus said He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The more we know Jesus, the greater freedom we will experience. Freedom. It's a word that gets thrown around a lot, today. But what is it really? Does it simply mean you can do whatever you want? No. Otherwise, we would have no laws in this country. That isn't freedom. That is anarchy. So what is freedom? For me, freedom is breaking free of bondage. When it comes to our spiritual lives, it is freedom to break free of the bondage of our past, our sin, our guilt, our shame, and our regrets. It is the freedom to discover a new life filled with promise. The ability to live according to God's promises and discover my purpose and use my special gifts. That is freedom. And how do we find freedom? John 8:32 makes it clear. The Truth will set you free. Other verses in John tell us that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The closer we get to Jesus, the more we will find freedom--true freedom!--in our lives.
