The Path to Freedom

John 8:31-36 NIV

“To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. 33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”

34Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”

Path to Freedom

     1. John 8:31 NIV

“If you hold to my teaching,”

     2. John 8:31 NIV

“You will truly be His disciples”

• Who is Truth?

     John 14:6 NIV “I am the way, the TRUTH and the Life…”

Revelation 19:11-13 NIV “I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.”

No Jesus, No Word, No Truth, No Freedom

Know Jesus, Know Word, Know Truth, Know Freedom

There is a HUGE difference between being FREE and being LOOSE

Romans 6:1-2 NIV “What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?”
