Christ leads, teaches, and corrects all who follow Him. Listen and yield to His words.
Continue In Christ’s Utterance
God’s promise to you in John 8:31a-32 is conditional. You must continue in Christ’s word—whatever that means. Let’s start with Jesus’ word. What is Jesus’ word? Looking up the original language, the Greek word “logos” means “utterance.” It’s His spoken word, the statements He makes. His word is His logos, which is God’s utterance. If you prayerfully read the first chapter of John in the Bible, you find this utterance can’t be separated from Christ. In the beginning was the Word, the Logos, the Utterance, and the Logos was God. And the Logos was the Light that lights every person who comes into the world. Jesus Christ reveals Himself and speaks to every person who comes into the world. Some listen. Others flee from the Light.
If you continue in Christ’s utterance, you are truly His disciple. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
What is the utterance of Christ? You need to understand that. You must continue in Christ’s utterance. What is that? How can you do that? Let’s find the answer to that.
Let’s look at the Greek word translated as “continue.” It means the following:
abide, continue, dwell, endure, be present, remain, stand, not to depart, to be held, to be kept continually, to live, and to remain as one.
You could say the word “continue” means to live, move, and have your being continually in His utterance. So you’re living in Christ’s utterance continually. That still seems foggy. What does that mean?
If you continually live, move, and have your being in Christ’s utterance, you are truly His disciple. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
It means you will be Christ’s disciple if you continually live, move, and have your being in His utterance, but what is a disciple? A disciple is a student or pupil.
If you live, move, and have your being in Christ’s utterance, you are truly His student. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
Let’s simplify that.
If you continually live, move, and have your being in Christ’s utterance, He teaches you as His student. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
Now, this is starting to make sense. If you are Christ’s pupil or student, He is teaching you the truth. If you’re following Christ, then He’s leading you. He’s speaking to you all the time. He’s correcting you sometimes. You need to listen. You need to seek Him and enquire of Him. You need to ask Him for direction and believe He will direct you. You need to stop resisting Him and second-guessing Him. You need to submit to Him when He corrects you. You need to stop being double-minded.
