Charles Stanley· Host0:20

If you'll turn to John chapter 8, and we have been in a series on how the truth can set you free. And you'll recall that Jesus is speaking to those who had begun to believe on Him, and He says in verse 31: "Jesus, therefore, was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, 'If you abide in my word...'" That is conditional, that is, if you're continuing, focusing your attention, absorbing your, my word. He says, "'... then are you truly disciples of Mine. And you shall know the truth...'" And the only way to know the truth is to be in God's Word. "'And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.'" Set you free, that is, from the bondage that keeps us from becoming the person God wants us to be and achieving the goals that God would have us achieve. And I'll tell you, I do not know of anybody anymore to be pitied than a man or woman who gives their life day after day working at it, driving, pushing everything possible to achieve more, accomplish more, and to accumulate more, and at the end of all that, be miserable. There are people out there who have so little comparatively, but who know what contentment and joy is.
