“If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31-32).
When I was doing surgery, sometimes there were people who did not want a general anaesthetic. They said, “Then I wouldn’t be in control of my life during that time.” People who are not saved like to feel as if they are in control of their lives, but do not realize that Satan is really controlling them through their sinful desires. As the god of this world, Satan makes unbelievers the servants of sin.
The Lord Jesus was telling His listeners that only through Him, and through His Word, could they really be made free. The believer in the Lord Jesus is the only one in this world who is really free—free from His old sinful nature, free from Satan, and free from this world. The real truth about everything is found only in the Lord Jesus.
