The Truth Will Set You Free
“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” — John 8:32
Jesus said that the truth will make us free, but as wonderful as the truth is, we must be willing to face it. The truth often shocks us into a reality we may not be prepared to see. However, if God is revealing it, then the time is right for us to see it. As tough as it might be to face the truth — especially when it requires that we make changes in our lives — it’s always better than avoiding it. We can be glad to live in the freedom and the rewards it brings. We can never get to where we want to be unless we truly face where we are. We shouldn’t look to the world to teach us how to live, but rather to the Word of God. The Bible is the only real source of truth, and that truth will change us, encourage us, instruct us, and set us free.
