The TRUTH, WILL, Make you FREE!

 

John 8:31-32

"Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Another often quoted scripture but not truly understood by the masses of people who quote it! And why is that you ask? Because multitudes of those who profess to be Christians have not entered into God's Kingdom and have not received in their souls the Spirit of Truth!

John 14:15-18

“If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you."

It all ties in to receiving God's Spirit, by being born from above, how can the truth make or set you free, if the Spirit of Truth is not IN you? 

You can hear the truth, quote the truth, memorize the truths contained in scripture but it will have no effect on your heart or mind, because you have not been baptized with the Spirit and Fire of God! So you don't have the power of God in you to set you free!

You will only think in your mind that you're ok, you'll say: 'I'm good because I read the scriptures, and I believe what it says'. I'm good because pastor so and so, calls me brother or sister and tells me I'm a child of God'. 'I'm good because I go to church on Sunday and Wednesday.' 

But have you heard from the Lord? Has He spoken to you and confirmed who you are in Him? Questions you need to ask yourself and answer honestly!

Only with the Spirit of Truth abiding in your Soul can you be set free!

John 16:12-13

“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come."

So many trying to do it all by their flesh, using their intellect, their gifts, talents, and abilities! Building and planting, working and creating, all without God's Spirit to help them. So you say to yourself, I can do it, I got this! But how much are you really doing without Christ in you?

John 15:5-8

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples."

So you see all things tie together in Christ? His Spirit, His Word, His Life in us, His cleansing, His help, His deliverance, His teachings, The fruit of the Holy Spirit, all intertwining to make us healthy, holy and blessed!!

The Truth will set you free indeed, if so be, that the Spirit of truth dwells in you!!

And remember the scripture clearly tells us in Romans 8:9 that if you don't have His Spirit in you, you are none of His!

Jesus Took Away Our Sin

John 1:29

“The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”

If we really understood this passage of scripture we would understand that those who are in Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit are no longer slaves to sin, and death has no more power over us.

The Spirit of God has been recently teaching me more of what Jesus truly did for believers and for the entire world. As John says in 1st John 2:2, “And He Himself is the propitiation (atonement) for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.”

The sinless sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross effectively un-did all that Satan did in the Garden of Eden through the deception of Adam and Eve. The scripture tells us in Romans 5:19 “For as by one man’s disobedience (Adam) many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience (Jesus) many will be made righteous.”

We also read in 1st John 3:8

“He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.”

God was manifested in the flesh and destroyed ALL the works of the devil, Satan has no more power or authority over the true saints of God! He can only do what the Sovereign God allows him to. What a wonderful salvation God has given us through His Son.

He was also manifested to TAKE AWAY our sins! 1st John 3:5

“And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.”

Take a look at Hebrews 2:14

“Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,”

When Jesus tasted death for us all He destroyed the devil! And He took his power of death! What a magnificent and awe inspiring truth! Jesus holds the keys of death and hades.

Revelation 1:18

“I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.”

It is Jesus who has ALL power and authority, it is Jesus who holds the keys of Hades and Death, He is the Judge and the executer of the wrath of Almighty God!

Hebrews 2:9

“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.”

There is no reason for us to neglect so great a salvation, there is no reason for us to continue to commit sin without the power to stop. There is no reason to remain in bondage to sin and the lusts of the flesh, in Christ we have been set free from sin and death, how could we live in it any longer?

1st John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.”

In Christ we have the victory over sin, the flesh, Satan, and the world, let us live and walk in the victory that was won for us on Calvary by the precious shed blood of Jesus.

Love In Christ,
