Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you
free” (John 8:32). The truth of God’s Word works freedom in many ways
and brings joy in all of them. But Jesus signals his focus in verse 34:
“Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to
sin.” The freedom he has in mind here is freedom from the enslaving,
destructive effect of sin. The truth sets us free from this. So Jesus
turns this truth into a prayer in John 17:17, “Sanctify them in the
truth; your word is truth.” Sanctify means to make holy, or free from
sin.
The guilt of sin would bring down the wrath of God on us if the truth
of the gospel did not set us free from condemnation through the blood
and righteousness of Chris
