John 8:31-32 is key to victory in every area of life. These scriptures are foundational. There are two points I want to illustrate in John 8:31-32. Point number one is the revelation of two different classes of disciples. There are “average” disciples who follow Jesus superficially and there are disciples “Indeed”. A disciple indeed is someone who has made the decision to dedicate themselves to knowing Jesus on a deeper level by continuing in His Word. A disciple indeed will not be moved when the circumstances of life come calling. His hallmark is the fact that He continues.

Second point. The truth that you discover by continuing in His Word will make you free. Some quote John 8:32 as “the truth will set you free”, however this is not how the verse was rendered in the original language. There is a distinct difference between making someone free and setting someone free. If an animal is caged and I unlock and open the cage door, I have just set the animal free. But for whatever reason, the animal may remain in the cage. The animal doesn’t necessarily have to come out of the cage simply because I opened the cage door. But in the same scenario, to make the animal free means that I pick the cage up, turn it upside down and shake it until the animal is forced out.
To make the animal free means he doesn’t have a choice. He cannot remain in the cage. John 8:32 tells us that continuing in God’s Word will force us into freedom in whatever area we are being held captive in.
