Spiritual liberation comes through the ministry of the Word into people’s lives. Jesus declared this reality: “You are truly my disciples if you abide in My Word, and you shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31-32). The keyword here is “abide.”
In this verse, Jesus tells His followers precisely in what discipleship consists, abiding in His Word. Jesus said He is the truth and the life. When people consistently ingest the Word of God into their lives, it goes to work effectively in their hearts, liberating them from bounding them.
