Day 71
Freed by the Truth
John 8:31–32 (NKJV) Then Jesus said to
those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples
indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Following the commandment to love one
another as Christ loved us is true abiding and the mark of a disciple. As we
abide in Christ we become increasingly aware of His personality (His nature,
temperament, traits, behavior) and in that way, we come to know the Truth. As we walk in the light of the Truth our
temperament, our behavior, our traits, our nature changes from being
self-centered to the love nature of Christ. We are set free from the deceptions
of sin, the cares of this world, the pride of life, the lust of the flesh, the
deceptions of religion, worldly wisdom, in other words we are being molded into
the image of Christ!
Ending Thoughts
1 Corinthians 14:1 (AMP) EAGERLY PURSUE and
seek to acquire [this] love [make it your aim, your great quest]... Take Paul’s
advice and make love (God is love) the great quest of your life.
