Bible Verse: John 8:32 (KJV)

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Reflection and Challenge

There is an old adage that essentially states that if you say a lie loud enough and long enough, eventually it will be believed. The problem is that it results in large populations being controlled by the liar. This is also called bondage of the mind. Satan has been spreading lies since the beginning as John 8:44 says.

This only reminds me of the numerous lies being spread in society today. Lies in public schools like evolution and socialism. Hollywood pushes hate toward Jesus and bad philosophies. The UN is pushing hate for Israel and global warming. The media pushes Amnesty for illegals and Abortion on demand.

Even churches promote lies like prosperity gospel and good works will get you to heaven. Satan is spewing lies everywhere. How do we stop these lies from corrupting us and others?

Jesus answered that question in John 8:32. “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” What is the truth? Glad you asked. In John 14:6, Jesus said He is the truth. In John 17:17 Jesus also said the Bible is God’s truth. The Bible is Jesus’ words to humanity. So how will the Bible set us free from lies?

It’s simple. Know the truth. Think about this. Do YOU have biblical reasons why ALL those lies mentioned above are wrong? Don’t just say that you don’t believe them but don’t have a reason why. How do we push back the lies without knowing why? How do we push back relativity that permeates the minds of Americans? “I say so” does not cut it anymore. 

How well do you know the truth? Can you see now why Satan is winning? How much are you equipped to defeat Satan?

What is truth?
