THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE

I was shocked to learn a deep lesson from an unexpected someone in an unexpected place; a prisoner in the maximum security. He testified, “I am thankful that I was imprisoned because I was set free; while outside I thought I am free yet I was imprisoned. While still in the outside world, he thought it was freedom to do whatever he likes and feels to do without other’s interruption. Yet the truth is, it just cannot be. Without the law, there is no freedom. He landed in jail because of lawlessness. Then He meet Jesus through the living word, the Bible. His life changed for the better. He had found the truth and the truth set him free inside the prison cell.

Today false teachers will resort to any means to keep people from obtaining a knowledge of the truth. There are those who love error more than they love truth, because truth is opposed to their inclinations and their course of action. They refuse to repent and be converted, even though the evidence for truth is clear and convincing. They do not want to search the Scriptures, to see if these things are so.

It is our duty, as children of God, to talk faith, and not doubt. We are to be hopeful and cheerful in the Lord. Let us not look on the dark side of circumstances, but look up, and believe in the One whom God gave to the world to save us from our sins. Christ accomplishes our salvation by inspiring faith in our hearts and a belief in the truth. The truth makes free; and those whom the Son makes free are free indeed. Let us seek to honor God by revealing a constantly increasing confidence in the assurance that He will accept every soul who serves Him in sincerity.
