## A Book that Liberates

Jn.8:32 "and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."This is usually quoted by itself. Is this a conditional or unconditional promise? Would it apply to all kinds of knowledge? Find the answers by examining the first half of the sentence, in v.31. "If you abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine... "

We see that this is a conditional promice, specifically speaking of the truth of God's word.

The Greek word for "wind" used in Eph.4:14 means a violent wind. "As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine..."One thing studying the Bible does for us is to ground us in the truth, with the result that we won't be easily "blown away."

But Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken [KJV Ye do err], not understanding the Scriptures, or the power of God."Mt.22:29

What 2 things do we need to know to be kept from error?

- God's word

- God's power
