so truth and freedom come hand-in-hand.
But they were descendants of Abraham, they said, "We have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean, 'You will be set free?'
Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. A slave is a not a permanent member of the family, but a son is part of the family forever. So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.
and how do we obtain truth, how do we gain this knowledge and understanding?
The Benefits of Wisdom [from proverbs2:4-10]
cry out for insight, and ask for understanding.
search for them as you would for silver, seek them like hidden treasures.
then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord,
and you will gain knowledge of God.
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest.
He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.
He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to Him.
Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair
and you will find the right way to go.
but. TRUST in the LORD.[proverbs3:5-7]
with all your heart, do not depend on your own understanding, seek His will in all you do, and he will show you the path to take. Do not be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for you body and strength for you bones.
