John 8:21-32
To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:31-32)
"If ye abide in the word which is mine, ye are truly my disciples, and ye will recognize the truth. This perception or knowledge of the truth is more than intellectual or scientific knowledge, for which there is another word; it is the knowledge of acquaintance. Loyal adherence to what they believe will convert that belief to trust; they will advance, so to speak, from being orthodox to being real Christians. And in that trust they will find freedom."*
