Are You Really Free? Part 6

John 8:31-36

1 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.”33 They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?”34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

By-Products of Sin-

Worry, Anxiety, frustration, doubt, distrust, sickness, disease, murderings, unfaithfulness, covetousness, lustfulness, dishonoring parents and those in authority, lying, deceit, rebelliousness, inconstancy, unwillingness to forgive, promiscuity, gossip, backbiting, and so for and so on. Oh I hear you, now you need me to remind you of what SIN Is.

SIN Is: Actions by which humans rebel against God, miss His purpose for their life, and surrender to the power of evil rather than to God.

Sin Human activity that is contrary to God’s will.

Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary says:

of human deviation from the expressed will and desire of God

But Jesus says, “The Truth Shall Make You Free!” And in case you have forgotten, Jesus is saying that by continuing in His Teachings, you will know Him. And HE will make you Free!

And If HE Makes you FREE, You will Be FREE INDEED!!!
