Passage:
John 8:31-32*
31. So Jesus therefore was
saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you
abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of
Mine;
32. and you shall know the
truth, and the truth shall make you free."
Questions
1. What is the connection
between Jesus’ word and knowing the truth?
2. What will be the result of
abiding in His word?
Practical
help
Jesus said that the key to
true freedom from sin is in abiding in His word —
the truth. When you know the truth and remain or stay
in it, you will be free. Here are some liberating
truths from God’s word to help you today in your
stand against smut.
1. God love you!
Romans 5:8: “But God demonstrates His own love
toward us, in that while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us.”
2. You are saved by His
grace! Ephesians 2:4-6: “But God, being
rich in mercy, because of His great love with which
He loved us, even when we were dead in our
transgressions, made us alive together with Christ
(by grace you have been saved), and raised us up
with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly
places, in Christ Jesus.”
3. Jesus has broken the
chains of sin in you life! Romans 6:6-7:
“Knowing this, that our old self was crucified
with Him, that our body of sin might be done away
with, (rendered powerless) that we should no longer
be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed from
sin.”
4. Jesus understands your
struggle! Hebrews 4:15-16: “For we do not
have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our
weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all
things as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore
draw near with confidence to the throne of grace,
that we may receive mercy and may find grace to
help in time of need.”
Abide in the truth of God’s
word for a few moments — these truths about His
love for you and what He has done for you in Christ.
He will use the truth in you heart and mind to keep
you free from the clutches of pornography
today.
