John 8:31-32
“31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
We hear much preached on what the religious world calls “Christian” Liberty today. Many are claiming a new found freedom from what they were taught and maybe even taught themselves in the past. Our text verses are a good rule of thumb to follow when seeking liberty or freedom from religious ways. If at any time we have to go outside the Word of God or we have to change the Word of God to fit what we think is freedom or liberty, then we must beware that it is nothing more than returning to the bondage of sin. It is only by staying in God's Word and following the commandments He has laid out for His people that we are truly made free from the bondage of false doctrine and the doctrines of devils.
Many of God's people are starting the New Year by beginning a Bible reading program to read through God's Word in the year. This is a wonderful way to learn more of our God. But, do not just read the Bible through like any other book. Study, contemplate, and pay attention to what is written as you read. Seek the truth and not the traditions of man.
Praise ye the Lord!!!
