Daily Scriptures for the Week of September 23, 2019

Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you

remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set

you free.”

John 8:31-32 NLT

“But we are descendants of Abraham,” they said. “We have never been slaves to

anyone. What do you mean, ‘You will be set free’?” Jesus replied, “I tell you the

truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin. A slave is not a permanent member of

the family, but a son is part of the family forever.”

John 8:33-35 NLT

““So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free. Yes, I realize that you are

descendants of Abraham. And yet some of you are trying to kill me because

there’s no room in your hearts for my message. I am telling you what I saw when

I was with my Father. But you are following the advice of your father.”

John 8:36-38 NLT

“Our father is Abraham!” they declared. “No,” Jesus replied, “for if you were really

the children of Abraham, you would follow his example. Instead, you are trying to

kill me because I told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham never did

such a thing.”

John 8:39-40 NLT

“No, you are imitating your real father.” They replied, “We aren’t illegitimate

children! God himself is our true Father.” Jesus told them, “If God were your

Father, you would love me, because I have come to you from God. I am not here

on my own, but he sent me. Why can’t you understand what I am saying? It’s

because you can’t even hear me!”

John 8:41-43 NLT

“For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil

things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the

truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his

character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. So when I tell the truth, you just

naturally don’t believe me!”

John 8:44-45 NLT
