“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32
When you know and follow the truths preserved in God’s Word, you will be free, but free from what? You can be free from:
- The penalty of sin in a tormenting Hell and later in the Lake of Fire.
- The hopelessness of not having guidance and help from the Lord.
- The bondage one’s sin has on a person.
- Making wrong relationships, decisions, and doing things you may regret for the rest of your life.
- The uncontrollable demand to heed sinful temptations.
- Falsehoods that are taught or believed are often contrary to what God’s Word commands. Believe and obey the Word of God, and you will have your eyes opened to the deceptions and dishonesties that are peddled as truth and fact. God can give much discernment to the believer, and it will change how he sees what is happening around him.
- A troubling, worrisome future with little hope.
It often is not an easy road to be untangled from sin’s grasp and follow God’s will and way. There may be many failures, weak moments, and struggles, but the freedom one gains by following God’s truths is worth it all!
