The Bible teaches that true freedom comes from knowing the truth of Jesus Christ, who makes us free from the bondage of sin.
In John 8:32, Jesus proclaims, 'And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.' This passage emphasizes that the truth is not merely intellectual knowledge but an experiential knowledge of Jesus Christ Himself. The freedom He offers is a transformation from being a servant of sin to being a son who abides forever (John 8:36). This freedom is not just from external bondage but from the internal bondage of sin, which holds every person by nature until the Son liberates them.
