1.    Jesus is the Truth – John 14:6

2.    The Word of God is Truth – John 17:17

 “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Corinthians 3:12-17).

 

III.  God’s Revelation of Truth

A.   God’s revelation of truth is Jesus Christ

“Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” - John 8:36

B.   The better you know the Lord Jesus Christ, the more freedom you are going to enjoy.

1.    We must grow in our knowledge of Jesus – v. 32

2.    We must love Him – v. 42
