Discipleship

Golden Nuggets for Tough Times

“So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” John 8:31-32 NASB. A lot of people take this out of content. You can know the truth, but if you don’t act on it, it doesn’t do you any good. You can’t be set free. For example, I have witnessed to people and they would say I know Jesus and what you are saying is right, but I’m not ready yet. They know the truth, but If you don’t act on the truth you don’t get set free. The old adage says that you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. Jesus said if you continue in my word, then you are my disciples. He didn’t say if you join a church, or join the choir, or go to church once a year you will be my disciples. He said if you continue in my word. That is an ongoing process. Only God can get us free and we have to do it on His terms, not ours. Blessings. Bd.
