John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Truth is powerful! Now what is truth? Truth is simply the word of God. John 17:17 says, Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. And Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6).
As powerful as the truth is, it cannot make men free. Don’t be surprised by this bold statement. Truth cannot make men free. Rather it is the knowledge of the truth that makes men free. It is the truth that you know that will guarantee your liberty and freedom. Thus, it is important as a believer in Christ that, you should seek to know the truth.
Now what is the key to knowing the truth? From our opening scripture, we are told that and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. If you read that scripture in context, the preceding verse reads, if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed. The opening scripture begins with “and” which is a conjunction, connecting it to the previous verse. This is the key to unlock the knowledge of the truth: it is continuing in the word that births the knowledge of the truth.
Sometimes when you hear a message for the first time, you may not get the understanding. But as you keep hearing and hearing, your understanding will be opened and you will know the truth. No one wakes up one day and begin to know the truth. There has to be a consistency and continuity in the word to enhance your revelation of the word.
Folks who listen to the word once a while will never know the truth. You have to be steadfast in your hearing of the word. This is why you must take church attendance seriously. When you skip church services, you don’t get the full revelation of the message, especially when you attend a church where the word is taught in series. Your liberty in Christ hinges on your knowledge of the truth. And to know the truth, you must continue in the word steadfastly.
