To a believer reading John's gospel chapter 8 and the account of Lord Jesus Christ final public preaching in days before His crucifixion it makes sense to grasp what His message was and follow Him by holding fast to it and putting away lies from day to day conversation because He taught that lying is of Satan. This preaching says that doing so is to be combined with believing that the fact that He truly is puts hope in sight. The promise is there in that preaching that truth from Him will set such followers free from the main binding sins that keep us in slavery while slaves are not children of God. So sin by sin the follower finds truth is freeing them and making them more and more children of God under the safeguards and protection of Jesus like a baby back in the womb again.
