Freedom through Obedience

Freedom through Obedience

Scripture Reference:
John 8:31-32 - "To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, 'If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.'"

Devotion:
True freedom comes through obedience to Christ's teachings. His commands are not burdens but guides that lead us to a fuller life in Him. The truth sets us free by aligning our lives with God’s will and breaking the chains of falsehood.

Study Points:

• The relationship between obedience and freedom.
• Understanding "the truth" as revealed through Scripture.
• Examples of obedience leading to freedom in biblical stories.

Application:

• Choose a command of Jesus to focus on this week. How can you better obey it?
• Spend time in daily Scripture reading, asking God to reveal truths you need for liberation.

Reflection Questions:

1. What truths have you learned through obedience that have set you free?
2. Are there teachings of Jesus that you find particularly challenging to obey?
