Jesus’ words in John 8:32, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free,” point to more than knowledge or honesty. They reveal the freedom that comes from receiving His truth, following His teaching, and allowing Him to heal old wounds. In Christ, truth not only exposes what is broken—it restores, renews, and sets us free. Real…
A biblical reflection on the character of God and the foundation of His righteous rule Introduction When we talk about the righteousness of God, we are talking about the simple but powerful truth that God always does what is right.
