The Truth will make you Free

“The Truth shall make you free.” John 8:32

The opposite of the truth, is a lie, and the opposite freedom is bondage.

Satan is the god of this world and has built his kingdom upon lies.

Through his lies he has brought the whole world into bondage and turns the hearts of men away from almighty God for it is written, “ But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” 2nd Corinthians 4:3-4

Satan tells us the lie that we should love money and that it will make our lives so much better but the truth is, “ the love of money is the root of all evil; which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” 1st Timothy 6:10

Satan tells us the lie that God will understand if you have a little sex from time to time out of wedlock, but the truth is, “ Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortionist, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1st Corinthians 6:9-10

Satan tells us the lie that we need to obsess over our flesh bodies, but the truth is, “ For bodily exercise profits little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 1st Timothy 4:8

Satan tells us the lie that we are obligated to live our lives for our Parents, our wives or husbands, our children, our brothers and sisters, and even our own selves, but the truth is, “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:26

Satan wants to keep us all in bondage, when the key to freedom is The Word of God and it is right at our fingertips.

Satan’s number one lie is to discredit the Word of God, to keep people from trusting the contents of the Holy Bible, God’s road map to living free from this world.

Through his lies we have become enslaved by fear, fear of being protected, fear of being poor, fear of being alone, fear of making a mistake, fear of getting older, and even fear of dying.

But the truth is that “ God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and of a sound mind.” 2nd Timothy 1:7

And again, “ For as many as are lead by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father.” Romans 8:14-15

Satan is a liar and the deceiver of mankind for it is written, “ You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” John 8: 44

And again, “ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:9

Satan doesn’t want you to read the Bible because it will expose his lies.

Jesus has warned us of Satan’s deception, he told us that Satan would attack the Word of God for it is written, “ For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” 2nd Corinthians 11:13-15

The Truth of the Word of God is the only way to be free from the bondage of this evil world and Satan’s lies for it is written, “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, “if you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32

Satan wants people to be discouraged from the Word of God, he wants them to fall for his deception, by placing false preachers in the church for it is written, “ For then shall arise false christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; in so much that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Matthew 24:24

Satan has equipped his false preachers with such great lies that they are able to deceive most of the whole world for it is written, “ Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ (I represent Christ); and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24:4-5

But Jesus teaches us how to discern between Satan’s lying preachers and God’s truth speaking preachers for it is written, “ Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits (actions).

But Jesus has given us his Word (The Holy Bible) that we may not be deceived, that we may be free from this evil world for it is written, “ and all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:8

Jesus has a place prepare for liars for it is written, “ But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whore mongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake, which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Revelation 21:8

Satan lie is to get you to love this world, but the truth is, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world pass away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abides forever. Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 1st John 2:15-18

Jesus teaches us that we will be hated by the world once you are free for it is written, “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. He that hates me hates my Father also. John 15:18-23

And again, “ This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” 2nd Timothy 3:1-5

Satan wants to kill us all through his lies for it is written, “ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour; whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” 1st Peter 5:8-9

Don’t stay in bondage to Satan, escape and get free through the Word of God for it is written, “ I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou should take them out of the world, but that thou should keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. John 17:14-21

Remember, “ Let God be true, but every man a liar!” Romans 3:4
