Am I set free?!
John 8:27-36
27 They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father. 28
So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will
know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the
Father has taught me. 29 The one who sent me is with me; he has not left
me alone, for I always do what pleases him.” 30 Even as he spoke, many
believed in him.
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my
teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and
the truth will set you free.” 33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s
descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that
we shall be set free?”
34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it
forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. NIV
