Tag: Bible verses about truth setting us free

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-11-24

John 8:32 (NKJV) 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

People tend to love partial truths.

Partial truths make us feel good. They stroke our ego and tell us what a good person we are and assure us that we are OK; all is well with our souls.

But a partial truth is dangerous.

Why?

Because it fails to tell the whole story. A partial truth leaves room for untruth to gain a foothold.

You see, Jesus told us that the truth shall make us free.

But a partial truth leaves us stuck in bondage; chains that we refuse to recognize while we are basking in the comfort of a partial truth.

The whole truth can be uncomfortable for us. It speaks unapologetically, causing us to see things that we may not like to see.

But if we embrace that truth, no matter the discomfort associated with doing so, it opens the door for freedom and deliverance to come, giving us true freedom.

So, if God shows us ourselves, and He puts His finger on something that is not pleasing to Him, something that causes separation between us and Him, it is critical that we not run from it but turn and face it with the help of the Holy Spirit.

It is in this that we find freedom from the things that have bound us for so long.

And it is in this that we can finally see those chains smashed to pieces, allowing us to walk in freedom that only God can bring.

Let us no longer be satisfied with partial truths that bring comfort. But let us openly invite God to show us the whole truth, give us the strength by His Spirit to face those truths, and allow Him to help us walk out the steps He has for us to finally know and experience true freedom that is found in the Truth.

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-15-23

John 8:32 (NKJV) 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

This well-known verse is quoted often, even by those who know little or nothing of God and His true freedom.

Even Christians will use this verse outside of what it really means.

While this is not necessarily wrong, it is always a good idea to understand what Jesus was referring to when He spoke these words.

First, there is a bit of symbolism here.

Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

If we know Jesus, we know “the Truth” (Him), and He sets us free from sin and bondage.

Beyond that, He is speaking of knowing truth that will change us, altering our lives and our destiny in a way that nothing natural can do.

That truth revolves around Him and what He represents; spiritual rebirth, death to sin and new life in His salvation.

Jesus spoke the words in John 8:32 to the religious leaders of His time.

They were rigid, stiff-necked people who were so steeped in tradition they failed to recognize their own Messiah.

In his teachings, He sought to help them gain understanding of their lost condition and the deception that they were slaves to.

Sadly, most were never able to see past their ritualistic traditions, opting instead to have Jesus crucified.

Despite what they chose, let us choose true freedom in Christ; freedom from the cares of this world, freedom from the power of sin in our lives, and freedom from death and the grave.

These are some of the things Jesus was referring to when He spoke of freedom.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-30-22

John 8:32 (NKJV) 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

There is so much power in this short verse. Anyone who learns to truly understand what it means will be blown away.

Truth has power. It has the power to bring immense change to so many lives.

There is one little problem, though. So, let me explain.

The truth can set us free, just as Jesus said.

The truth is simple. Truth is a fact or set of facts. Nothing can change the truth. It is what it is.

But dealing with the truth isn’t always easy. Despite truth being simple, it can have many pieces. And that can make it complicated to handle or deal with.

Allowing God to show us how to handle the truth will bring freedom to so many lives.

This can take hard work, and may require extreme perseverance in some cases as we work through letting the truth free us from whatever situation we may be in.

Sometimes it happens quickly. Many times, it isn’t so quick. It takes longer than we’d like it to take.

But that’s OK, because God will give us the grace and the strength to see it through if we let Him.

In the end, it’s up to us whether we let the truth work in our lives or not.

We can accept the truth, and we can hit it head on, moving toward the freedom that we seek from the things that keep us bound and in chains.

Or we can ignore the truth and run from it, clinging instead to what we’re familiar with, choosing to stay in those chains simply because it seems easier.

We choose. Let’s choose truth and the freedom that comes with it.
