Children of Abraham31 Jesus said to the Jews who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teaching. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”33 They responded, “We are Abraham’s children; we’ve never been anyone’s slaves. How can you say that we will be set free?”34 Jesus answered, “I assure you that everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 A slave isn’t a permanent member of the household, but a son is. 36 Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you really will be free.John 8:31-36 (CEB)
