THE ESSENTIALS OF THE TRUTH.

 "And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free (see John 8:32).”

It is important to have a relevant word, but paramount to have a word in a season. And you will know the truth, and it will set you free. Your Freedom is dependent upon what you know. In other words, you are free base on what you know, and bound based on what you don't know. For you to be free from whatever bondage or affliction you are facing, you need a certain knowledge of the truth. Just like the commensalism relationship amongst Living things, your freedom and the truth coexist in that manner, whereby your freedom is the symbiont, and The Truth is the host, which is neither gaining or losing from freedom because the truth is the truth, whether bound or free, the truth remains the truth. But freedom those not work like that. Freedom completely depends on the truth. In other words, the knowledge of your constitutional rights, or human rights, gives you access to exercise them. For example, you know that it has been written that you have right to work, and vote and be voted for, and life, that is why you have freedom to work, vote and be voted for, and live. You don't practice what you don't know. Listen, without the knowledge of the truth, you can never be free from the shackles of life and the circumstance of the tempest of life. Let understand the two usage and definition of the verb will in that verse. According to the Oxford dictionary, will, can be define as an expression in many ways, but mainly expressing the future tense, and also expressing inevitable event. So when the first will was used in that verse, it represents an expression of a future knowing, while the second will, shows an inevitable results which is freedom, produced by the knowledge of that truth acquired. Now, before we proceed, It will be benefiting to us, to know what type of knowing HE meant, when HE said "and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. In epistemology, which is the study of knowledge, we have four types of knowledge, which are eido, ginosko, and epiginosis. Eido means awareness, ginosko means revelational knowledge and epiginosis or epiginosko, which describe a unity between the knower and the knowledge. The knowledge used in John 8:32 is ginosko, which is a revelational knowledge of the truth. In other words, ginosko means, to be taking in knowledge, come to know, learn, realized or ascertained. In other words, this knowledge is gotten after an established calculation, investigation, experimentation, survey, or study. It is the learning, finding out, discovering or determining an information with certainty usually by making an inquiry or other effort. The word, which is Jesus the truth you have discovered or learn with certainty is what set you free. In other words, the dimension of Jesus the word, you have learnt, which becomes a certain knowledge of Truth you live in, set you free. For example, generally, we are healed, blessed, favoured, protected and prosperous based on the revelational knowledge about The Cross we continually live in. When you discover with certainty that Jesus paid the price for you to be healed, prosperous in all aspects of life, blessed and favoured, and you live by the knowledge of what you discovered, you will definitely be free from sickness and diseases, failure, poverty, etc. Further more, you are healed, based on the revelational knowledge of the dimension of Jesus the healer and the spirit and life word HE spoke, you discovered or learn about in the scriptures, and live by it. For example, when you learn with certainty and stick to what HE did for you and me, in Isaiah 53:4, by taking up our pain and bearing our suffering, you will never be sick or diseased again. Or when you become ascertained with the authority in the name of Jesus, that at the mention of his name, every shackles in your life bounding you will be lose (see Philippians 2:9-11). Watch this, the education of the word you know and put to practice is known as knowledge in the world, but to God, it is know as faith, that's why it is Impossible to please God without faith (see Heb 11:6). When you know with certainty that you will lend to Nations, and borrow from none (see Deu 28:12 and Deu 15:6), and you live by that truth, you will be free from poverty. When you know with certainty and live in the truth that all the families of the earth will be blessed by you (see Gen 12:3) because you are the seed of Jesus (see Gal 3:29) who is the seed of Abraham (see Gal 3:16), and Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers, and they will bow down before you with their faces to the ground; they will lick the dust at your feet (see Isaiah 49:23), you will be free from failure. When you also find out with certainty, and you live in the truth that you are the head and not the tail (see Deu 28:13), that God is able to make all grace work for you (2 Corinth 9:8), that you have more understanding that your teachers and elders, because you keep and obey his words, then you will be set free from academic failure (see Psalm 119:99-100). In conclusion, when you live certainty by the promises of the knowledge of the word of God, you will definitely be free from all kinds of troubles of life. For we work by Faith (The Knowledge of the word of God we live), and not by sight (the knowledge of the systems of the world ) (see 2 Corinth 5:7). For the certainty of the knowledge and faith of Jesus, the revelation of the cross and the name of his, gave perfect health to the lame man who always sat at the beautiful gate (see Act 3:16). If you must be free from whatever bondage, you must know and live with certainty the truth of Jesus and his word.
