Episode Synopsis

This Study Guide primarily focuses on an exegesis of John 8:31-47. The message argues that humanity shares a common spiritual problem rooted in sin, which manifests in visible symptoms of evil in the world. Jesus’s dialogue with the Jews illustrates that true discipleship requires abiding in Christ’s word to know the truth, which in turn brings freedom from slavery to sin. The text stresses that this freedom is accomplished by embracing Jesus, the Son, and that failure to believe stems from not being "born of God" or having the devil as one's spiritual father.
