The Psalmist asked the question, “How can a young man keep his way pure?”  And then, in the next sentence, he answered his own question.

One of the most misquoted verses in the Bible is John 8:32 “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” 

Most people mistakenly say that the truth will “set you free”, but that is not the case.  It says that it will “make you free”.  What’s the difference? 

We need to understand that it is God’s power, the power of the blood of Jesus, the Name of Jesus, and God’s Holy Spirit that SETS us free, but it is by hiding God’s Word in our hearts that we are KEPT free. 

The original Greek for John 8:32 shows us that the word “make” actually means “keep”.  So, it is saying that the “truth”, which is God’s Word, will KEEP us free.
