“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

” - John 8:32

I’ve heard this multiple times already. Some people who like to say that the
things they are telling us (their truth) will set us free are not always telling the
whole truth. We keep interacting to the people around us, and we don’t know if
their saying the truth.

What most people do not know is that this quote actually comes from the Bible.
More specifically, it comes from the lips of Jesus Christ.

The freedom to which Jesus was referring is a freedom that must be held in
check by the very qualification given by Jesus himself. To ignore this might lead
to a freedom much less attractive than that which Jesus has to offer.
Truth’s character is both logical and empirical. if true beliefs describe the world, and the world changes,
then truth must change too. So, we can approach a truth that is independent of particular observations
by, ironically, taking account of the observer in looking at the bigger picture: optical effects resulting
from refraction of light explain why the ruler appears bent but, really, is straight.

I would like to say that truth exists outside of us, for all to see. Unfortunately, humans can be stubborn,
and so the actual pinning down of what a truth is is more complicated. Society plays host to two types of
truths; subjective truth and objective truth. Subjective truth is given to us through our individual expe
riences in relation to those around us: in short, it’s the truths we have been raised with. Objective truth
is discovered by a search which is critical of our experiences until sufficient evidence has been gathered.
The subjective truth is not always in opposition to the objective truth, but it does depend on the subject
valuing their worldview more than others’.

ruth is the quality of being true, and being true is what some statements are. That is to say, truth is a
quality of the propositions which underlie correctly-used statements. Truth is interpersonal. We tell
each other things, and when they work out we call them truths. When they don’t, we call them errors
or, if we are not charitable, lies.

Certainly freedom does mean the right to do as one pleases—to think, believe,
speak, worship (or not worship), move about, gather, and generally act as you
choose—but only until your choices start to infringe on another person’s freedom.

Many are tired of this world where lies and deception abound and spiritual bondage holds many captive
to sin, diseases, misfortunes, addictions, injustice, abuse and victimization, with no hope to escape.

The meaning of Truth in the Bible can be seen right

here: Biblical Truth is the knowledge of the Law of God and
its application, and this is what keeps us whole. Apart from it
there is only confusion and destruction, because sin brings
only confusion and causes only destruction!

The Truth does not have the power to make anybody free; It
only has the power to make a disciple free. A disciple is a
learner who understands that what he is taught by his
teacher is true and sound, so he believes it and puts all this
teaching into practice. This kind of person is the one who
qualifies for the blessing of knowing the Truth and being
made free by It. People all over the world know at

least some Biblical names, words o

r sayings. One well
-
known saying
from the Bible is “the truth shall make you free.” These words were
spoken by the Lord Jesus and come from John 8:32

As we try to understand this verse, we should be aware that there is

not
even general agre
ement on the meaning of truth. Some people may tell
you that truth for one person is not truth for someone else, or that truth
depends on the situation. Perhaps Pontius Pilate’s thinking was
something like that.
G od’s word is truth, and the Bible is God’s word.It is God’s word that sanctifies.

Most of the world doesn’t accept the Bible as the exact word of God. They don’t accept it as truth. Even
those who think there is at least some truth in the Bible are, in most cases, far from understanding it.
They don’t understand what the Lord meant when He said the truth shall set you free

When we sin, we give up our freedom and become enslaved to the sin. We diminish our relationship
with God. We reject God’s grace.

For us to truly experience our freedom, we must know objective and universal truth – those facts which
cannot be denied or misinterpreted. For without that foundation of knowledge, we cannot do what is
right and pleasing to God. We cannot be free. Each one of us DOES know objective and universal truth,
because God infused it into us at birth. It is the knowledge of what is right and what is wrong. We call it
Natural Law. We apply Natural Law by using our consciences. When we listen to our consciences and act
rightly, we exercise our freedom. When we ignore our consciences and sin, we forego our freedom and
become slaves to sin.

Therefore, when Jesus said, “you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free “(John 8: 32), He
meant that we know what is right and what is wrong. If we act on what is right, then the truth shall set
us free!
