Bible verse
John 8:36

“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”
What it means
Jesus promises a freedom that goes deeper than any earthly liberty. When the Son sets us free, we are free indeed, released from the grip of sin, shame, and every old chain. This is not freedom to do whatever we want, but freedom to become who we were made to be, alive to God. No habit or history is stronger than His liberating power. What He frees, He frees for good. In Christ we stop striving to earn release and simply receive the freedom only He can give.
Read it, pray it, live it
On The Living Bread you can read the whole chapter, save this verse, ask Simon to explain it, pray it over your life, and share it with someone who needs it today.
