Gospel of John - John 8.31-47

Jobey McGinty

We often here the quote, "the truth will set you free!"  But what this assumes is that you are not free; that you are enslaved to something. The more we think about this, the more insulting it becomes.  "I don't need to be free, I'm already free!," we decry.  But we are not. We are born into the slavery of sin, and we can't change that by a simple profession of freedom. We must actually possess freedom. But we have no ability to just declare this, just how a physical slave can't just profess his freedom. Something radical must happen. We need to be set free from the slavery of sin. And thankfully, this is exactly what Christ came to do for us.
