The Truth Will Set You Free So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” (John 8:31-32 NASB) Modern Culture and the Truth Tim Keller in his sermon “Absolutism” defines how much […]
