John
8:31, “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in
my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free. 33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and
were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin
is the servant of sin. 35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever:
but the Son abideth ever. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall
be free indeed.”
We
are engaged in a full-scale spiritual war! Satan has equipped his army with
every measure of deception possible in an attempt to deceive the very elect if
it were possible. As the battle unfolds before us, we find ourselves
desperately and almost frantically seeking to find that most essential element
of our spiritual liberty which is Truth.
Truth is a precious treasure! It is so valuable that Jesus said that when we find it, we will utilize all our resources to obtain it. Matthew 13:44, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: 46Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.” Jesus compared the revelation of His Kingdom to finding a treasure hidden in a field or discovering a valuable jewel. Upon such a discovery a prudent man would sell or give up all that he may possess in order to obtain them. That is the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and worth the investment of a lifetime to secure. Our goal is to be free and Truth is the doorway to our release! (continued)
