Jesus said to the Jews: “If you continue in My word, then you are my disciples indeed; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Free from what?
“He (God) drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”
You might think that mankind was emancipated, but they were imprisoned in the world where Satan is the evil “warden.” Mankind is so foolish that they fail to know their life is a prison without bars. We even beg to remain enslaved.
That is the truth of which Jesus spoke. If you continue to follow Him, He opens the door to freedom. Some, having the “Stockholm Syndrome,”have been turned to follow their new master and prefer to remain incarcerated.
The Way to the Tree if Freedom to live a better life is the door back to Paradise that only Jesus holds open.
You are in prison. The Bible reveals your way to freedom but first you must discover that you are bound by sin.
So, you think not? Then try to escape sin and your bondage will be revealed.
Try to cease lusting. Try to quit tobacco or other drugs. Put away your bottle or even fattening food. Now you may find that no walls do a prison make.
