FREE INDEED
Tuesday January 26th 2016
Memorise: If the Son therefre shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. John 8:36
Read: John 8:34-36
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily I say unto you, whosoever committed sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Bible in One Year: Matthew 4:23-6:34, Job 10:18-11:6
Message
Many people claim to be free, but they are not free indeed! The only genuine freedom is available in Jesus Christ. Anyone that still commit sin and claims to be free is living in self-deceit. The greatest task-master in the world is sin. Whoever is under its grip is not free and as a matter of fact, has no mind of his own.
During the days of Jesus here on earth, the Jews did not know they were in bondage. Hence they were surprised when Jesus said that the words which he was speaking to them would set them free. In the scriptural passage before us today, Jesus Christ revealed the source of bondage which people entangle themselves in
” Jesus answered them, verily, verily I say unto you, whosoever committed sin is the servant of sin” John 8:34
Only the truth of the Word of God can set a man free from the slavery of sin. The question is how can we know the truth? Jesus is the only truth that can set us free from the slavery of sin. No other means can afford us the desired freedom. Another liberating truth in the world of God is that whoever commits sin is of the devil, but the Son of God has come to destroy the power of sin in man.
“He that committed sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” I John 3:8
In Acts 4:12, we read that there is no salvation by any other, because there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Beloved, if you if you are being intimidated by the task-master of sin (the devil), the good news is that Jesus Christ is able to set you free, if you will come to him today in total repentance. It is only Jesus that can make you free indeed. Believe Him today, and you will be free from all forms of bondage.
Prayer Point
Father, Please set me fee from all forms of bondage in which the enemy has kept me in Jesus Name.
