The Truth

To the Jews who had believed Him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:31-32)

I spent years commuting two hours a day to my place of work and many of those hours were listening to Bible tapes and sermons. If you really want to know the Bible, I highly recommend it. There is something about listening to the Word of God; it has a way of sinking into your every day thoughts.

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. (Romans 10:17)

Your actions become very attuned to the Word of God.  Even when I struggle with the things of the world, I find that the Word drives me towards God and not away from Him. I have come to the point where I know that every word of the Bible is true and that I can live my life by it. It is a comforting feeling to know that you don't have to look for the truth in other things when you know that you have found it. That is freedom.

In our marriages if we hold to the Lord's teachings, "Then you will know the truth," this is trust and in a trusting relationship we will have freedom from sin that can destroy our marriages.
