The Truth That Sets You Free
"You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." - John 8:32
Have you ever had a moment where you thought you knew something, only to find out later that you had it all wrong? It happens to all of us. We assume, we guess, we follow what feels right, only to realize that what we believed was not actually true.
That is why what Jesus said in John 8 matters so much. He was talking to people who believed in Him, yet He made it clear that belief alone was not enough. He said that if they continued in His word, they would truly be His disciples, and then they would know the truth. But He did not stop there. He also said that the truth would set them free.
A lot of people claim to know the truth, but they are still living in bondage. They are trapped in sin, weighed down by guilt, or chained to fear. The problem is not whether truth exists. The problem is whether you are living in it. Jesus was not just offering information. He was offering transformation. Truth is not something you simply agree with. It is something that changes you from the inside out.
This is why Jesus did not say you would know a truth. He said you would know the truth. Truth is not whatever society decides it is. Truth is not what makes you feel good or what seems right in the moment. Truth is a person. Jesus is the truth. When you walk in His word, you are not just learning facts. You are stepping into freedom.
Some people resist truth because they think it will limit them, but Jesus says the opposite. Truth does not chain you. Truth breaks chains. When you align your life with what God has already defined, you do not lose anything worth keeping. You gain a life that is truly free.
Are you just believing in Jesus, or are you continuing in His word? Are you letting His truth shape you? If you are, freedom is not something you have to chase. It is something you will experience.
