What Is The Difference? Is There A Noticeable Difference In You and The World?

What differentiates you from the world?   What is the noticeable difference between you and the world?   How are your thoughts different from that of the word?   How are your actions different from that of the world?   Is the word of God really being effective in your life?   Do you take the word as final authority for what you do and what you say?    Or do you read it and pick out what sounds good and what feels good to your flesh to do?    What do you think you are accountable for?   Part of what God has said or all of what God has said?    

So often we use the scripture that says that it is the truth that you know that will set you free.    We fail to read the "and" that comes at the beginning of that verse (John 8:32).    The word and means "in addition to".   So we have understand that something else comes along with knowing the truth and being free.     In John 8:31, Jesus is talking to the Jews and He is talking about believing in Him and  abiding in His word.  You have to understand that if you want to truly be free..... you have to first abide in His word.   You cannot know the truth unless you living it.   

John 8:31-32
31So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed in Him, If you abide in My word [hold fast to My teachings and live in accordance with them], you are truly My disciples.  32And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.
It's time to get to the place of abiding .... so that you can truly be FREE.
