In my devotions the other day I saw a passage in a new way. I was in John 8:31-36. Jesus tells the Jews listening that if they would continue in His Word then they are truly disciples (paraphrasing) and then they shall know the truth and the truth shall make them free. In their arrogance, they tell him that they were born free and had never been in bondage. Jesus tells them that if they commit sin then they are in bondage to that sin and all that goes with it.
Knowing truth from God's Word frees you from bondage of sin and worldly ways.
* First, it leads you to salvation which frees you from the debt of sin
* Second, it leads you to godly living and away from the entrapment of worldly lusts
Accepting truth is what helps you in situations...it is freeing for your peace of mind and soul
--It frees you from denial - as long as you deny the facts you stay stuck
--It frees you from pretense - you no longer pretend that a situation is the way YOU want it to be
--It frees you from lies - you no longer need to lie to cover up for yourself or someone else
--It frees you to move past the situation and on with life
Truth indeed sets you free!!
Just a little something to ponder. ..Embrace truth!
