The Truth Will Set You Free

 

" You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. " So

declared Jesus as he was teaching the multitudes in the temple in

Jerusalem. (John 8:32) Jesus' apostles could readily identify Jesus'

teachings as the truth. They had seen abundant evidence of their

teacher's divine origin.

 

TODAY, however, some may find it difficult to identify the truth

Jesus spoke about. As in the days of the prophet Isaiah, today there

are " those who are saying that good is bad and bad is good, those

who are putting darkness for light and light for darkness, those who

are putting bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. " (Isaiah 5:20)

With numerous opinions, philosophies, and life-styles being promoted

nowadays, many people feel that everything is relative and that

there is no such thing as truth.

 

When Jesus said to his audience that the truth would set them free,

they responded by saying: " We are Abraham's offspring and never have

we been slaves to anybody. How is it you say, 'You will become

free'? " (John 8:33) They did not feel a need for anyone or anything

to set them free. But then Jesus explained: " Most truly I say to

you, Every doer of sin is a slave of sin. " (John 8:34) The truth

that Jesus was talking about can open the way to freedom from sin.

Jesus said: " If the Son sets you free, you will be actually free. "

(John 8:36) So the truth that frees people is truth about Jesus

Christ, the Son of God. It is only by faith in the sacrifice of

Jesus' perfect human life that anyone can be freed from sin and

death.

 

On another occasion Jesus said: " Sanctify them by means of the

truth; your word is truth. " (John 17:17) The word of God as

expressed in the Bible is the truth that can bring freedom from

superstition and false worship. The Bible contains the truth about

Jesus Christ, which leads people to put faith in him and opens the

way to a bright hope for the future. It is a splendid thing to come

to know the truth of God's Word!

 

How vital is it to know the truth? Many religions today, while

claiming to follow the Bible, are largely influenced by human

philosophies and traditions. Often, religious leaders seem not as

concerned with the accuracy of their message as they are with its

acceptance by the masses. Some feel that God is satisfied with any

form of worship, as long as it is sincere. But Jesus Christ

explained: " The hour is coming, and it is now, when the true

worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for,

indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him. " —

John 4:23.

 

If we want to worship God acceptably, we must know the truth. This

is an important issue. Our eternal happiness depends on it.

Therefore, everyone should ask himself: 'Is my way of worship

acceptable to God? Am I genuinely interested in learning the truth

of God's Word? Or am I afraid of what a careful investigation might

reveal?' "
