“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.” (John 8:32)
Freedom does not magically happen; liberty is costly both in
the physical and spiritual realm. But there is only one everlasting freedom. If
you follow the trail of evidence, freedom begins with God. He—the Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit—created everything that exists (Genesis 1:1. 26). The Word was
in the beginning; the Word is God, and “the Word became flesh” (Jesus) and dwelt
among us (John 1:1, 14). These are truths established before time began.
People often misquote the statement that truth sets one free
by omitting Jesus’ stipulation: He said if we read, study, and obey His Word, then
we as His disciples would know the truth, and that truth would set us
free (v. 31). Jesus said He is “the Way, the Truth, and the Life,” and no one
goes to the Father except by Him (John 14:6). So, what does this evidence mean?
Jesus said His Father loved the world so much that He gave His only Son to die
to pay our sin debt. And whoever believes and receives this truth of the Father
will have everlasting life (John 3:16).
Continue the trail of evidence: When Jesus left this life,
the Father sent the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth (Holy Spirit), to guide us
into all truth (John 16:13), just as Jesus said He would (14:16, 17). The only
way to know and experience The Truth and everlasting freedom is to invite
Christ into your life: “If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, ye shall
be free indeed” (v. 36). The trail of evidence proves the truth of God’s Word.
