John 8: 31-32 tells us "if you hold to my teaching you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
There is only one truth that will set us free and that is not Jody's truth or the world's truth or any other truth you can think of.
Jesus is the truth that sets us free, he is the source of the truth, the perfect standard of what is good and right. He frees us from continued slavery to sin, from self-deception and from deception by Satan. He shows us clearly the way to eternal life with God. Thus Jesus doesn not give us freedom to pursue harmful actions or dangerous beliefs but freedom to have a new and overflowing life as we follow him. As we seek to serve God, Jesus perfect truth frees us to be all that he created us to be.
In John 8 Jesus goes further to say " Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
Sin has a way of enslaving us and dictating our actions if we allow it. Jesus can free you from this slavery that keeps you from becoing the person God created you to be. If sin is restraining, mastering or enslaving you. Jesus can break it's power over your life.
