John 8:31-32 (KJV)
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Pastor, it is true that after I believed in the Lord Jesus, I began to enjoy God’s peace, and the terrible nightmares stopped. But there are still so many things promised to believers in the Bible that I am not experiencing in my life, even when I have asked God for them. Pastor, what should I do?

Often neglected in sermons is John 8:31, “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed”, but without this verse, the popular John 8:32 cannot be experienced.

Believing in Jesus is the initial step to finding the truth; however, there is the need to continued in His word. If you must know the truth, you must continue in Jesus’ word. And through the light of His word, the [Holy] Spirit [of Truth] will guide you into all truth (see Psalm 119:105, John 16:13).

Jesus said, “if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Notice the use of the word “And” in verse 32 shows that it is a continuation of verse 31.

Isaiah 40: 31 (KJV), “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run, and not be weary and they shall walk, and not faint.

Do you want to enjoy all that is promised you in the word of God? If yes, continue in the word of Jesus.

Ask God for the grace to continue.
