The truth will make you free - free from what?

MoJo

Jhn 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free

Jhn 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

...the truth shall make you free (the Son shall make you free)

Truth = the Son

Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

...and ye shall know the Son....

Jhn 8:19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also

Jhn 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Jhn 16:3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

Jhn 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Jhn 14:17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Eph 4:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

Jhn 14:11 Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, ( the Father and Jesus) that they might be saved. (They received not his love)

1Ti 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

.....and you will know the Son........and the Son is in the Father and the Father in the Son.

1Jo 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1Jo 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

2Jo 1:2 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.

3Jo 1:8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.

Didn't start out to go that way, but there you have it.......

knowing the Father and the Son (the truth) will make you free. Next up......free from what?

Very Happy

See if you can figure it out...........

Jhn 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

Jhn 14:17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; **whom the world cannot receive,** because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Jer 9:6 Thine habitation [is] in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.

Jhn 1:12 **But as many as received him,** to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:

Jhn 13:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

Jhn 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

Jhn 14:26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Pay particular attention to the comparison being made here;

1Cr 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

Eph 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

Jhn 4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.

Rom 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.

Very Happy

Hi MoJo--------

again a great study.Have you been looking in the margins of my bible? Smile

So what are we free of?I am dying(daily in fact) to know.

much love----------knuckle

Jhn 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Rom 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

Rom 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Psa 119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity **have dominion** (rule over) over me.
Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Rom 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

1Cr 7:22 For he that is called in the Lord, [being] a servant, is the Lord's freeman:(freed man) likewise also he that is called, [being] free, is Christ's servant.

Gal 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

1Pe 2:16 As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

Liberty

Lev 25:10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

Psa 119:44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
Psa 119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.

Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to [them that are] bound;

Luk 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Rom 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope,
Rom 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God

er 34:15 And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:

2Cr 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty.

Jer 34:16 But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.

2Pe 2:18 For when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, [through much] wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

Gal 2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

2Pe 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

2Pe 2:22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog [is] turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Gal 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Gal 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

Jam 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

next up.... captivity and bondage

Very Happy

couple of side points that I may have missed in the above.......

Psa 119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity **have dominion** (rule over) over me.
Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

1Jo 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

I'm not sure that this is saying that those in Christ can't commit acts that **we** might classify as sin, but rather that sin won't rule us or have dominion over us. Paul says we are not under (subject to) the law of sin and death, therefore we can't be judged by a law we are not subject to. If we are not in subjection to and can't be judged by that law, it is not possible to transgress **that** law. Sin is transgression of the law.

Christ, in fact, has dominion (we are subject to him) over us and therefore we **can** be judged by his law and this is the law of faith.

Can sin now be defined as transgressing this law?

Rom 8:2 For **the law** of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from **the law of sin and death.**

Just a thought maybe suitable for another thread.

However, the conclusion is that those made free by Christ are made free from sin **and** death. Will probably touch on the death part later.

Lev 25:10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

I think, in symbolism, that the 50th year is shown here.

Isa 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

Luk 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Luk 4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou (the serpent) shalt bruise his heel.

Rom 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen.

Interesting. The feet (heel) that are bruised, in turn bruises the head.

Just some side notes.

Very Happy

Why is this such a true statement ?

Even God says that this is a true statement.
