The Truth Shall Make You Free
31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you (John 14:15, 23)abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.32 And you shall know the (John 1:14, 17; 14:6)truth, and (Rom. 6:14, 18, 22; James 1:25; 2:12)the truth shall make you free."
33 They answered Him, Lev. 25:42; (Matt. 3:9); Luke 3:8"We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?"
34 Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, Prov. 5:22; Rom. 6:16; 2 Pet. 2:19whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.35 And Gen. 21:10; Gal. 4:30a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever.36 (Rom. 8:2; 2 Cor. 3:17); Gal. 5:1Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
