5. Why is truth important to us? John 8:32.
NOTE: ‘It is through the lack of knowledge of the vitalising truth, and the corrupting influence of error, that men are fallen so low, sunk in the depths of sinful degradation. Angels and men are to work in harmony to teach the truth of God to those who are unlearned therein, that they may be set free from the bonds of sin. It is the truth alone that makes men free. This liberty, this freedom through the knowledge of the truth, is to be proclaimed to every creature.’ Ye Shall Receive Power, page 166.
6. What are we to be set free from? 1 John 2:21. Consider Revelation 22:14-15; Revelation 21:27; Revelation 21:8.
NOTE: ‘These poor, deceived, blinded, deluded souls look upon religion as something that will fetter them, that will deprive them of their liberty, when the truth is that an infinite sacrifice has been made in order to emancipate them from the slavery of Satan, to break every yoke, and to let the oppressed go free. They are victims of the father of lies, and it is the truth of God alone that can set them free, and sanctify them to a blessed service.’ Signs of the Times, July 17, 1893.
