Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32-32).

Jesus is “the truth” (John 14:6). “The truth” will set me free.

Freedom from…

The sway of the wicked one! The “whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one” (1 John 5:19). Jesus sets me free from Satan’s sway, from the Devil’s influence. I can choose to be free from the wicked one in Christ!

The lies the wicked one tells! The Devil is “a liar and the father of it” (John 8:44). Jesus sets me free from the Devil’s deceptions. I can choose to be free from the one who “does not stand in the truth” in Christ!

Hopelessness! Those without God are also without “hope” (Ephesians 2:12). Jesus sets me free from hopelessness. I can live confidently in Christ!

Doubt! Satan has sowed seeds of doubt in the hearts of men from the beginning (see Genesis 3:4). Jesus sets me free from the Devil’s seeds of doubt. I can know in Christ!

Uncertainty! Satan would have us believe that we just can’t be certain of anything (see John 18:38). Jesus sets me free from uncertainty. I can be sure of who I am, what I am doing here, and where I am going in Christ!

Despair! The enemy intends to tear us down (see 2 Corinthians 1:8). Jesus sets us free from despair. I can be lifted up in Christ!

The bondage of sin and death! Satan tempts us to sin which leads to bondage and death (see Hebrews 2:14-15). Jesus sets me free from the bondage of sin and death. I can serve freely and live in Christ!

Know Him today! Allow Him to set you free! Rejoice in your freedom!
