MEMORISE
And ye shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free.
John 8:32
Read
John 8:31-36
31 Then said
Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are
ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye
shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They
answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how
sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus
answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the
servant of sin.
35 And the
servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son
therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Message
Freedom is generally defined as the power of
self-determination attributable to the will. It is the power to act, speak or
think as you want without hindrance, constraint or restriction. However, the
freedom that Jesus promised is freedom in which a man is set free from the
power of the devil, sin, sickness, poverty and failure. It is a freedom that is
the possession of born-again children of God who have been liberated through
the blood of Christ. It is a freedom that doesn’t rule out obedience to the commandments
of God and submission to the will of God. This freedom is a freedom of choice:
a choice to submit to Jesus and follow Him all the days of our lives; a choice
to live a holy and righteous life, and a choice to reject the devil, his
demonic activities and their influences in our lives.
There are lots of misconceptions about the freedom
that Jesus promised His followers. It is definitely not an invitation to
lawlessness and self-will as some Christians suppose. The freedom Jesus
promised comes through strict obedience to the word of God and i
ts conditions. Jesus says, if you continue in His word, you will come face to face with the truth, and the truth in the word of God will then set you free (John 8:31-32). This passage was written for believers. Anyone that is yet to believe and trust in the Lord Jesus may find this principle of freedom promised by our Lord Jesus very difficult to understand. This freedom comes as a natural response to the grace of God; it is not a system that forces anyone to live in any particular way. The submission and commitment of Christians to Jesus is simply out of love and appreciation for what God did for us. However, anyone who claims to be a Christian, and yet finds it difficult to accept the freedom offered by our Lord Jesus Christ with thanksgiving, is only a pretender. James 1:25 says:

“But
whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being
not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in
his deed.”
This concept of freedom is not easy to understand.
It offers us freedom from religious systems, the devil, sin, unrighteousness,
self and demonic powers. The Spirit guides us and leads us to make required
sacrifices, but these sacrifices are for our own gain. We strive to make these
sacrifices consciously and willingly out of love and appreciation for the
salvation of our soul. This is the freedom of the Spirit offered by Jesus
Christ to anyone who wants to be free from the devil and his works.
Prayer
Point
Father, please let the truth of your word continue
to make me free, in Jesus’ Name.
"A Message from "faithdrivetoeternityblog"
"The kind of freedom you enjoy as a born again child of God is different
from the worldly freedom. However this kind of freedom is available
through the word of God. You can now live a life that is free from
fear of unknown because you serve a God who neither sleep nor
slumber. "
Prayer -: Father please increase the grace of God in my life, so that i can read and meditate the word of God more than ever before..
