YOU WILL BE FREE INDEED / JOHN 8:36

(KJV) John 8:36

If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Whether they recognize it or not, people who do not have a personal relationship with Christ are slaves to sin, Satan and their own immoral behavior (John 8:34; Romans 6:17-20). They follow the selfish desires and cravings of their own sinful nature and the ways of the devil (Ephesians 2:1-3).

1. True followers of Christ, who rely on the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit who lives in them, are set free from the power of sin and immorality (Romans 6:17-22; 8:1-17). When they face temptations, they now have the power to do what God desires and requires. They are free to be God’s servants and to do what is right (Romans 6:18, 22).
2. Freedom from slavery to sin (from constantly giving in to temptation and experiencing the consequences of going own our own way) is one sure standard by which we can tell if we are truly following Christ. If we have a personal relationship with Christ, it should be evident that God’s power has changed our lives and is continuing to transform our character, making us more like Jesus. Anyone who is presently caught up in immoral and ungodly behavior either has never experienced true spiritual birth (salvation) or has given themselves back over to sin and come from slavery to sin (Romans 6:16, 21, 23; 8:12-13; 1 John 3:15).
3. This does not mean that Christians are free from doing spiritual battle against sin. Throughout our lives, we will have to constantly fight against the pressures of the world, our own sinful nature (natural-born tendencies) and the forces of Satan (Galatians 5:17-18; Ephesians 6:11-12). Complete freedom from temptation and the influence of sin will come only after we die and go to be with Christ or when Christ returns for His faithful followers. What Christ offers us now is His life-changing power to help us overcome evil and temptation and to grow spiritually. This power, given through the Holy Spirit, can set us free from the tendency to defy God and go our own way (Galatians 5:16-24) and can enable us to live in a spiritually pure and blameless way (Ephesians 1:4).
