“If you hold to my teachings, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set your free.” – John 8:31-32
Most people only know and quote the second half of this very important scripture. And in fact, it is the ignored part of the verse that is the most significant. The teachings of Christ and the reality of his love are what lead to truth and henceforth to freedom of spirit, mind and soul from the bondage of deception. The Angel of Lies has a good gig going with this particular verse because he’s caused most of society to take this verse completely out of context by chopping it in half, which twists it to stand for worldly truth instead of the truth of Christ and his teachings. Seeking worldly truth ultimately leads to destruction. Only through reading the unified verse can we understand the meaning that truth comes from Christ and his teachings.
