John 8:34-36

Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed. 

I am a child of God. Yes I am!

I am forever grateful for Your hand upon my life…I love You! 

Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1

John 8:34-36

34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

A Jewish slave was only supposed to serve for six years and go free in the seventh. 

Membership by birth was superior to membership by obligation. Faithlife Bible.

Jesus was speaking of spiritual slavery. Such a slave cannot break away from his bondage. He must have someone else set him free.

A slave was not a permanent resident of a house. A son remained a family member with family privileges forever. The application proves that the “Son” here is Jesus Christ. As a family member, the Son can bestow family privileges on others. NKJ Bible.

Christ in the gospel offers us freedom, he has power to do this, and those whom Christ makes free are really so. Matthew Henry Commentary.

Genesis 21:10 Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Isaac.”

Galatians 4:30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.”
