Finding Truth

 N.T.#731 "Finding Truth"

Feb. 9, 2026 

John 8-Part 5

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (verse 32) 

LET IT GLOW 

Jesus made some profound statements in this chapter:

• I am the Light of the world. (verse 12)   
• Follow Me and have the Light of Life. (verse 12)
• My record is true; My judgment is true; He that sent Me is true. (verses 14, 16, 26)
• Father God taught Jesus what to do, say, and how to please Him while on earth. (verses 28-29)
• I tell you the truth. (verses 45-46)

In the Greek language, true refers to no concealing.

Webster Dictionary defines truth as sincerity in action, character, and utterance.

Our life should be doing what is true, being what is true, and saying what is true. We don't have to cover up our actions or words whenever we are living and saying the truth. When folks can't believe what we say, do, are, then we have no witness. If people lie all the time, we don't believe a word they say-it's hogwash and we stop listening to them, being around them. Don't believe them, leave them.  

Truth is not just how we speak, but what we do and who we are. Do you know someone who has a reputation of always lying? 

As a follower of Jesus, we must be careful of the words we speak, the things we do, and who we are. What do others say about us?

LET IT GROW 

Abiding in His Word gives greater knowledge of the truth and sets one free from sin. (verse 32)

As believers, we are free from the penalty of sin .Placing our personal faith in Jesus results in freedom from other personal sin that had a hold on us.  Previously, we were a slave to sin, but now we are free from it. We are not to return to our old sinful ways and lifestyle. 

God's Truth sets us free, not restricting us. Are you free from the bondage of a particular sin? Has addiction to something got you tied up? 

Look at 1 John 1:9, Phil. 4:13, Rom. 8:28.

LET IT GO

Father, help us experience Your Truth. 

Jesus, You are THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE. 

Thank you for providing the way to God.

It isn't by works, but belief that we can come to You and be changed.
