John 8:31-32.
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
So many times I have heard verse 32 by itself. But today when I read it in context I was surprised. Freedom always comes from knowing truth. But the only way to know truth, Jesus says, is to continue in his word. So don't get discouraged when your daily devotions seem to grow boring, or stale. Just read God's Word every day and with the help of the Holy Spirit you will be continuing in his word.
And you will grow in your knowledge of God's truth, and that truth will set you FREE.
Thank you for that reminder.
