What is impossible for man is accomplished through the Son. Faith alone pleases the Father and His priceless gift to us cost Him everything so that we could be set free from the tyranny of sin and death. Believe in Him!
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. This proverbial saying is applied in v. 36. The application proves that the “Son” here is Jesus Christ . As a family member, the Son can bestow family privileges on others.
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.
