Reference: St. John 8:31-32
Topic: “Do You Know the Truth?”
Can you list at least two spiritual truths about Jesus that
you have discovered in your studies? (Example: “I am the way, the
truth and the life”)
1.
2.
The
Church of the Living God stands on the several beliefs regarding the Lord,
Jesus that also serves as a foundation for our theological posture. The basis for Christian living is centered
around the life, earthly ministry and redemptive work of the Lord, Jesus. (Read: St.
John
The lesson aim is to validate
our knowledge of “the truth”. More
importantly, we, the believer, must be able to articulate to others our insight
and comprehension of the scriptures. (Read:
II Peter 3:17-18) In a previous
statement we determined that there is no greater liberator than the truth. The truth has the power to set the captive
free. Thus, John 8:32 expresses
the Lord’s view on becoming “free” through faith in him. John’s record of this statement of truth sheds
light on the overall contrasts between freedom and bondage. Our knowledge of the truth will free us from
the bondage of sin. Verse 31 outlines the path to freedom: “then said Jesus to
those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then
are ye my disciples indeed;”
Key words:
Believe – [pist-yoo-o] – to
have faith; i.e. credit; to entrust
Continue – [men-o] – to stay
Finally, Jesus’ proclamation
to his disciples in John 14:6 should be the continuous message of all who
walk in and live for HIM.
