Patrikin – Kinship through The Father

If ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins…[but] If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. – John 8:24,31-32

The last sentence of this verse if often quoted out of context and, taken out of context, it is not always accurate. Truth can bring prison not freedom! Truth can bring condemnation not acceptance! Truth can be a fearful thing because the truth is that there is no one truly innocent and to quote a famous line from a recent movie, also out of context, “You can’t handle the truth!”

But those in Christ can! Those who have accepted the truth that Jesus died for their sins are not afraid because along with the truth of their sins is the truth of payment for those sins.- Fritz@langgang.com
