The Gospel is NOT SPECULATION...IT IS FACT

Then Jesus turned to the Jews who had claimed to believe in him. “If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my disciples for sure. Then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth will free you.” John 8:31-32

“The gospel is not speculation but fact. It is truth because it is the record of a Person who is the Truth.” – Alexander MacLaren

The truth pill can be hard to swallow at times. The Bible is full of truth. The Christians Jesus is talking to are the ones who attend church, but their faith is not important to them.  Jesus is not the most important person in their lives. They agree with what Jesus taught but they do not allow this to affect their attitudes or their behavior in their daily lives.  Jesus required them to not only read the truth but they had to obey the truth.

When people follow Jesus, they will know the truth because Jesus is the truth. The truth frees us from the results of sins, death and shows us how to have eternal life with God. The truth shows us the ways we deceive ourselves, how other people deceive us and how the devil deceives us.

The freedom Jesus gives us is real freedom. It is not the freedom to do what we want, but the freedom to serve God. Then and only then, we can become the kind of people that God created us to be.
