Bible Reading
So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?” Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. (John 8:31-36 ESV)
Hymn ELH 423:3,4 How Can I Thank You, Lord
Lord, You have raised me up
To joy and exultation,
And led me on the way
That I may know salvation.
My sins are washed away,
For this I thank You, Lord;
And with my heart and soul
I trust Your holy Word.
Grant that Your Spirit’s help
To me be always given
Lest I should fall again
And lose the way to heaven;
That He may give me strength
In my infirmity;
And e’er renew my heart
To serve You willingly.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, true freedom comes only through faith in Your Son, Jesus Christ, as the only Savior from sin, death and the power of Satan. Strengthen my faith through Your Word, that I may never again become a slave to sin. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
