>>22285813The Truth will Set You Free
(2 John 1:4-6)
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, 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. They answered him, We be
Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest
thou, Ye shall be made free?
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in
the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore
shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. I know that ye are
Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no
place in you. I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye
do that which ye have seen with your father.
They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith
unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of
Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the
truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the
deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of
fornication; we have one Father, even God.
The Children of the Devil
Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for
I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but
he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye
cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts
of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and
abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he
speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the
father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye
not believe me? He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore
hear them not, because ye are not of God.
