And you will know the truth [regarding salvation], and the truth will set you free [from the penalty of sin].
Text: John 8:32
Please read the whole of John 8
Wait a minute! Why is it so hard to do the things you know are the right things to do? No doubt our sinful nature obviously has a role to play in this. The truth is that, after you become a believer, you have this good nature that God has given, but there is also the old sinful nature that is still drawing you. Now, the secret to personal change is not in will-power.
It is not in pills, resolutions and vows either. It is in something you know even the truth you know. When we change the way we think, the way we feel will change and subsequently the way we act. Every self-defeating act is a product of a lie you believed about yourself, your past, future or God Etc. If you want to change the way you live, you have to start to know and believe God's truth. When you know the truth, the truth you know and practice will set you free. Start to expose and uncover the lies you have been accepting from childhood or from the TV. From parents or peers and others.
Reject them and you will be free ever.
Worship and pray.
