Free Indeed

In John 8:31 and 32, Jesus taught about true liberty. He taught that if you continue in His Word, then you're really His true disciples, indeed. Then you'll know the truth, and the truth will make you free.

What did He mean, the truth will make you free? You haven't ever been a slave, right? Well, if you sin, that's just like you become the slave of sin. Because even if you know better, you end up sinning again. You might think, "How did I get to be sinning again? I didn't want to do this sin." But you can't get free.

That's where the Word of God comes in. If you want real freedom, you have to keep on listening to the Bible, and following what it says.

    "Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin." Romans 6:6-7

    "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:16-23
