JOHN 8:31–32
31So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Jesus called upon the Jews to believe in Him, or they would die in their sins. Many put their belief in Him that day. However, even if they were freed from slavery to sin by believing in Him, Jesus knew living as free people, not as slaves, would be a journey for them. It would take abiding, growing, and trusting God. In this lesson, we will look at how Christians can live and experience freedom as Jesus’ disciples.
