Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out the meaning of liberating truth based on the Gospel of John 8:31-32. In addition, this study can also provide good basic knowledge about the meaning of liberating truth that can only be obtained through faith in Jesus and its reflection for today's believers, especially so that they can know how to interpret and respond to the liberating truth. The research method in this writing is a qualitative method with an exegetical approach. In this study, the meaning of liberating truth based on the Gospel of John will be explored theologically and then confronted with the reality of understanding today's believers in how they respond to that freedom. From the results of the exegetical study of John 8:31-32, the Truth is God Himself, who is incarnated into the life experienced by humans. In addition, God also acts as a giver of truth that will free His oppressed people. Freedom means liberation from slavery, entering a new life in joy and satisfaction that was previously impossible. Through faith in Christ, believers experience a meaningful life that is freed from the darkness and prison of sin. This means that faith in Christ not only saves from the penalty of sin, but also gives freedom to live in the will of God and glorify Him. The meaning of the liberating truth referred to in the Gospel of John is the truth that gives spiritual freedom, namely freeing humans from the power of the devil, from darkness, spiritual death and from the prison of sin. This truth is concerned with human salvation, the truth that comes through the Lord Jesus Christ.
