The Truth will set/make you free

John 8:32
The Truth will Set You Free
31So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples. 32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 33“We are Abraham’s descendants,” they answered. “We have never been slaves to anyone. How can You say we will be set free?”…

I was praying and meditating on this yesterday and this is what the Holy Spirit spoke to me.
His Word is Truth and it is Truth on many levels....to the newborn in Christ....the Truth that set them free is Salvation through Christ....to the saints growing from the milk of the Word the Truth that sets free is the foundations of the teaching of how we are to walk in the spirit and not the flesh....to those who are into the meat of His Word the Truth that sets us free is learning how to operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and to battle the enemy using our authority in Christ....then to those who are able to get to the higher calling the Truth that sets us free is the hidden wisdom of God that shows us the mysteries of God.....

The Truth that sets us free is there throughout our growing walk with Him and it is a continual Truth....some get bogged down and stuck in just one area of it through religious doctrines and cannot continue any further....others move on to the deeper truths but lack simple faith to believe for it to happen for them (it only happens for others)...not seeing themselves in the likeness and image of Him...and for those it takes longer to move forward....but to those who reach the higher calling they have attained the Truth that sets them free from lacking faith of any possibilities....that nothing is impossible to God...they can walk on water like Jesus....move mountains....cast out demons...heal the sick....make the blind to see and the deaf to hear....they are the true disciples of Christ....following His example in every way....

Here is hope....the Bible says...John 16:13
However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come.

So what level of Truth are you at right now? I urge you to pray and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to deeper levels of truth....to open your eyes to see and your ears to hear what He would have you to know at this point of your spiritual walk....line upon line...precept upon precept....Amen.

P.S. Jesus said IF you continue in my Word....

While I don't, perhaps, understand what you mean by 'levels' of truth, I do agree that the idea itself is extremely important. It seems at the moment the idea that we can know truth; from God, from scripture, is under attack. But, well, it is fairly plain, and absolutely essential to our faith. If you take that away, then the 'cornerstone' is no longer there, is it?
So I very much appreciate this post.

Lead me in your truth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all the day long.
- Psalm 25:5

What I mean is that if we stop continuing in His Word as He says then we can obtain a certain knowledge of His Truth.....and it goes so much deeper than just salvation.

And just to add the Holy Spirit also is necessary to guide us into the deeper truths through revelation knowledge and understanding of His Word.....for some things are taught in parables to confound the wise.....the Holy Spirit is able to unlock the meaning of scripture to us in ways that man cannot teach.

Glory to God! How true. This I what scripture calls going from glory to glory!

Man, oh Man! This is such a refreshing post from the non-sense I read in another thread, and how it's all just "hyperbole." Makes you wonder which part of "nothing is impossible with God" they have a problem with, LoL.

I have no idea where I am in the big scheme of things, but I can promise you that growing in His word (not just reading it, memorizing it, or preaching it) was the constant theme of Christ's parables. So it IS the vital question.

Praise God, sister! Most anointed thread I've read in quite some time.

Well...yes! Even though God has not shared everything in scripture, to say that there is only one layer to the knowledge in it is foolish! Not that I've ever met anyone who's said that, thankfully! I suppose when we think of it, even the topic of Salvation itself is so dense that really, we could just dig into that for years and years. As bible scholars have been...minds much greater than mine.
The bible says concerning salvation: "It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look." - 1 Peter 1:12

Isa 28 9-
9 "Whom shall He teach knowledge? and whom shall He make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little..."

Good posts.
To sit still is to die on the vine...
When we wait upon the Lord He adds to us , line upon line of revelation light unveiling more of who He is!! ...
Praise His name!!

I'm tempted to say you may have more faith than I do, LoL.

But it's certainly a goal worth having.

Me, too. Very good Forum, maybe the best right now!

This sentence really impacted me...thanks for your wisdom! I'm going to pray on this. I think as much as we 'move forward' in our lives, we can always do more. I feel a little 'still' at the moment....

So good to meditate in John's Gospel about the deep themes of the Word, the Holy Spirit, the Truth, and so forth. We are doing a long term study of John's Gospel and it's really searching. Many of the themes that John takes up in his Gospel are also taken up in his First Epistle.

It's an old thread...I was sharing on another thread that had the same premise about truth setting us free.
