John 8:31-32 If Ye Continue in My Word

John 8:31-32 (KJV) Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, 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.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. The Word of God nurtures faith and genders faith and dwelling upon God’s Word increases faith. God’s Word provides the needful spiritual orientation that helps to distinguish truth from error so that the spiritual mind filters and is protected from falsehood.

This is indeed true, Jesus explains to His disciples that obedience to His commands is indeed true freedom. The Jews were taught to follow Him wholeheartedly. God’s laws are not grievous but obeying it we overcome the world.

1 John 5:3-4 (KJV)  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Amen.
