Today is Monday, June 8th, 2009; Karen's Korner #1586
A follow up of the Bible verse I mentioned in Friday's Karen's Korner:
"You will know the truth and the truth will set you free"
~ a quote by Jesus in John 8:32
Bible Commentary: "Jesus himself is the truth that sets us free. He is the source of truth, the perfect standard of what is right. He frees us from the consequences of sin, from self-deception, and from deception by Satan. He shows us clearly the way to eternal life with God. Thus Jesus does not give us freedom to do what we want, but freedom to follow God. As we seek to live for God, Jesus' perfect truth frees us to be all that God meant us to be.
"Sin has a way of enslaving us, controlling us, dominating us, and dictating our actions. Jesus can free us from this slavery that keeps us from becoming the person God created us to be. If sin is restraining, mastering, or enslaving us, Jesus can break its power over our lives."
