Speaker 1: From our archives, the Billy Graham classes.
0:08
Speaker 2: Tonight, I want to turn to John's Gospel, the eighth chapter,
0:13
Speaker 2: the eighth chapter of John's Gospel, and this passage of scripture,
0:21
Speaker 2: the thirty second verse, the thirty second verse of the
0:25
Speaker 2: eighth chapter of John's Gospel. And ye shall know the truth,
0:32
Speaker 2: and the truth shall make you free. These are the
0:37
Speaker 2: words of our Lord Jesus Christ. He's having a debate
0:41
Speaker 2: with some of the religious leaders of his day, and
0:44
Speaker 2: he said, ye shall know the truth. Now. That word
0:46
Speaker 2: shall could be translated must. You must know the truth
0:52
Speaker 2: if you were to be free. Tonight I want to
0:56
Speaker 2: talk about truth and freedom. We hear a great deal
1:01
Speaker 2: about both today. You know, there's an old Scottish oath
1:06
Speaker 2: upon which our American oath is based, and it reads
1:09
Speaker 2: this way. I pledge before Almighty God, before whom I
1:15
Speaker 2: will give an answer on the day of judgment, to
1:18
Speaker 2: tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
1:23
Speaker 2: Jesus said, ye shall know the truth, and the truth
1:28
Speaker 2: shall make you free. Now in this passage of scripture,
1:32
Speaker 2: Jesus discussed two personalities. He discussed God on the one hand,
1:38
Speaker 2: who is truth, and Satan on the other who is
1:43
Speaker 2: a liar and the offer of lies. Now here's what
1:46
Speaker 2: Jesus said. He was pretty rough in some of the
1:48
Speaker 2: things he said. He turned to these religious leaders and
1:51
Speaker 2: he said, you are of your father, the devil, and
1:56
Speaker 2: the lust of your father you will do. He's a
2:00
Speaker 2: murderer from the beginning, and abode not in truth, because
2:03
Speaker 2: there was no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie,
2:06
Speaker 2: he speaketh of his own, for he's a liar and
2:10
Speaker 2: the father of lies. Jesus said that there's the lie
2:17
Speaker 2: and the truth. And in Second Thessalonians, the second chapter,
2:23
Speaker 2: we are told that in the latter days of this age,
2:26
Speaker 2: there will be a system called the lie, and a
2:33
Speaker 2: great delusion will sweep over the people of that generation.
2:37
Speaker 2: They will believe a lie and they will reject the truth.
2:43
Speaker 2: Many people think we're living in that generation. And the
2:48
Speaker 2: apostle Paul said in the first chapter of Romans that
2:51
Speaker 2: the people of that day had changed the truth of
2:54
Speaker 2: God into a lie. And then secondly, not only do
2:58
Speaker 2: we exchange the truth of God, but Paul said in
3:01
Speaker 2: Romans the first chapter, in the eighteenth verse, who hold
3:04
Speaker 2: the truth in unrighteousness? In other words, you can know
3:08
Speaker 2: the truth and not live it. This is holding the
3:14
Speaker 2: truth of God in unrighteousness. The Bible says, the wrath
3:18
Speaker 2: of God is against such people, and that's why Christ
3:23
Speaker 2: was so bitter in his denunciation of the hypocrites. You
3:27
Speaker 2: hold the truth intellectually, but you don't live it, Jesus said,
3:32
Speaker 2: you serve me with your lips, but your heart is
3:34
Speaker 2: far from me. You can hold the truth in unrighteousness,
3:38
Speaker 2: and that brings about the wrath of God. And then thirdly,
3:42
Speaker 2: Paul said, judgment according to truth Romans two two. But
3:47
Speaker 2: we are sure that the judgment of God is according
3:50
Speaker 2: to truth. In other words, someday God is going to
3:54
Speaker 2: judge the world. Yes, there's a day of judgment coming.
3:59
Speaker 2: Just as certain as I'm standing here, a day of
4:02
Speaker 2: judgment is coming, and God is going to judge us
4:06
Speaker 2: according to the truth.
4:09
Speaker 3: Did we live by the truth? Did we believe the truth?
4:13
Speaker 3: Did we accept the truth? What was our attitude toward
4:16
Speaker 3: the truth? Or did we exchange the truth for a lie?
4:20
Speaker 3: Or did we hold the truth in unrighteousness? God will
4:26
Speaker 3: hold us accountable. The scripture says Jesus said, you must
4:31
Speaker 3: know the truth.
4:33
Speaker 2: I'm the truth. We'll make you free now. You know,
4:38
Speaker 2: that's what philosophy has been doing, and that's what science does,
4:41
Speaker 2: and that's what we do in psychology and every field
4:43
Speaker 2: of study and every discipline. We're searching for truth. We're
4:47
Speaker 2: trying to find what the laws are. We're trying to
4:51
Speaker 2: find what the truth is. Now, early in childhood, we
4:54
Speaker 2: soon learned the truth that fire is hot, We learned
4:57
Speaker 2: that ice is cold, learned that doing wrong makes us
5:01
Speaker 2: feel guilty and doing good makes us feel good. We
5:04
Speaker 2: learned that early. You see, all of us really are
5:09
Speaker 2: on a quest for truth. What is the truth about myself?
5:14
Speaker 2: Where did I come from? Why in the world did
5:17
Speaker 2: God ever put us on this planet? If there's a God?
5:20
Speaker 2: And where are we going? Is there life after death?
5:22
Speaker 2: I'm searching for answers. All of us are consciously or unconsciously,
5:29
Speaker 2: we ask ourselves these questions. What is truth? The same
5:32
Speaker 2: question Pilot asked two thousand years ago. And that's why
5:36
Speaker 2: a lot of these kids are taking LSD and mind
5:39
Speaker 2: expansion psychedelic drugs. They're trying to find some experiences that
5:45
Speaker 2: will lead them into some sort of a spiritual truth. Now,
5:49
Speaker 2: truth is important in mathematics, it's important in chemistry, it's
5:52
Speaker 2: important in science, and it's important in the spiritual life.
5:56
Speaker 2: It's important in morality. It's important to fire and the truth.
6:01
Speaker 2: Jesus said, you shall know the truth. No guess work,
6:05
Speaker 2: no speculation is allowed in aviation. You can make one
6:11
Speaker 2: mistake nowadays and make Christ into another plane. You must
6:15
Speaker 2: know the truth now. Job said, I know my redeemer lives.
6:22
Speaker 2: The apostle. Paul said, I know in whom I have
6:26
Speaker 2: believed the apostle. John said, you can know that you're saved.
6:36
Speaker 2: The Bible teaches that you can know the truth, you
6:39
Speaker 2: can find the truth, you can believe the truth. But
6:42
Speaker 2: what is the truth? Every religion and every philosophy may
6:46
Speaker 2: have some of the truth, but there is one place
6:51
Speaker 2: you can find all the truth. Where is it? Jesus said,
6:59
Speaker 2: everyone that is of the truth here if my voice.
7:04
Speaker 2: Buddhas said, I'm still searching for truth at the end
7:07
Speaker 2: of his life. But Jesus made this astounding claim. Jesus said,
7:16
Speaker 2: I am the truth. Jesus said, I am the truth.
7:25
Speaker 2: I am the embodiment of all truth. And if you're
7:33
Speaker 2: going to get to Heaven, you've got to believe that,
7:36
Speaker 2: and you've got to take it by faith. When you say,
7:42
Speaker 2: anybody that would come along and say I'm the embodiment
7:44
Speaker 2: of all truth, he must be mentally deranged. He's an
7:50
Speaker 2: ego maniac. Yes, you can make that. You can make
7:54
Speaker 2: a case for that. Or maybe Jesus just told a lie.
8:00
Speaker 2: He knew it wasn't true and he just lied. Yes,
8:04
Speaker 2: that's one of the options. But suppose he is the truth.
8:12
Speaker 2: Suppose he is the embodiment of all truth. And you
8:19
Speaker 2: rejected and exchange the truth for a lie, then you
8:28
Speaker 2: have made a fatal error for eternity. Now I personally
8:35
Speaker 2: believe that Jesus is the truth. I believe that he
8:39
Speaker 2: is the embodiment of all truth. I have accepted that
8:42
Speaker 2: by faith. And when I took that step and took
8:45
Speaker 2: that stand, it changed my life. And it's very simple,
8:52
Speaker 2: and he made it so simple that you can know
8:54
Speaker 2: the truth that a blind man, a deaf man, a
8:58
Speaker 2: black man, a yellow man, or red man can come
9:01
Speaker 2: and know the truth. The educated man can know the truth.
9:05
Speaker 2: The uneducated can know the truth. I know people that
9:07
Speaker 2: don't have any education at all, and they know this
9:10
Speaker 2: truth and it gives them a satisfaction and a joy.
9:15
Speaker 2: And I know professors at the great universities, and I
9:17
Speaker 2: know some of the great scientists. They have come and
9:20
Speaker 2: accepted this as the truth, and bowed in humility before
9:24
Speaker 2: the Christ back of science, and it's changed their lives. Truth,
9:33
Speaker 2: but profoundest truth, in simplicity, so that anybody can come
9:37
Speaker 2: and anybody can believe, even children. Quittier once said, we
9:42
Speaker 2: search the world for truth. We call the good and
9:46
Speaker 2: the pure and the beautiful from graving stone and written scroll,
9:50
Speaker 2: from all the plowed fields of the soul, and weary
9:54
Speaker 2: seekers of the best, we come back laden from the
9:58
Speaker 2: quest to find that all the stage is set in
10:01
Speaker 2: the book our mother's read. It's here Jesus Christ, the
10:08
Speaker 2: story of Christ. He is the truth. And Jesus said
10:12
Speaker 2: this in that same chapter, in the twenty fourth verse.
10:14
Speaker 2: He said, if ye believe not, listen to this. If
10:18
Speaker 2: you believe not that I am He, you will die
10:25
Speaker 2: in your sins. If you believe not that I am
10:31
Speaker 2: the embodiment of all truth, You're gonna die in your sins.
10:37
Speaker 2: You must come and believe and accept and commit. Yes,
10:42
Speaker 2: Christ claimed to be ultimate truth, and Jesus told the truth.
10:50
Speaker 2: He told the truth about sin, where it is the
10:53
Speaker 2: lust and the greed and the pride, and the hate
10:55
Speaker 2: and the jealousy and the fighting come from Why does
10:59
Speaker 2: Why are people hate each other? Why do they fight
11:03
Speaker 2: and kill? And every generation has a war? We've had
11:05
Speaker 2: fifty five war since World War II? Why all of this?
11:09
Speaker 2: Throughout history? The Bible tells us man has a disease
11:12
Speaker 2: of the heart called sin, For from within out of
11:15
Speaker 2: the heart of men precede evil thoughts and adulteres and
11:18
Speaker 2: fornications and murders and thefts, and covetousness and wickedness and
11:22
Speaker 2: deceit and blasphemy and pride. All of these things come
11:26
Speaker 2: from within and defile a man. We're suffering from only
11:30
Speaker 2: one disease in the world. Our problem is not a
11:33
Speaker 2: race problem. Really, our problem is not a poverty problem.
11:37
Speaker 2: Our problem is not a war problem. Our problem is
11:41
Speaker 2: a heart problem. We need to get the heart changed,
11:45
Speaker 2: the heart transform. That's why Jesus said you must be
11:49
Speaker 2: born again. You must have a new nature, a new
11:52
Speaker 2: heart that will be dominated by love. Ah. But we
11:57
Speaker 2: go out and say we ought to love each other,
12:00
Speaker 2: and we soon find that we don't have the capacity
12:04
Speaker 2: to love each other. Where we're going to get it,
12:06
Speaker 2: we get it from Jesus. You see, the Spirit of
12:10
Speaker 2: God comes into our heart the moment we receive Christ,
12:13
Speaker 2: and he begins to produce in your heart love and joy,
12:19
Speaker 2: and peace, and patience and temperance. All of these fruits
12:25
Speaker 2: of the spirit are produced supernaturally by the Holy Spirit
12:28
Speaker 2: when you receive Christ. He told the truth about what
12:34
Speaker 2: is wrong with the world. And then he told the
12:38
Speaker 2: truth about our social responsibility, our responsibility to our fellow man.
12:42
Speaker 2: In the twenty fifth chapter of Matthew, beginning at verse
12:45
Speaker 2: thirty five, you'll find it. People were hungry, they were sick,
12:52
Speaker 2: they were tired, they were cold, and they were visited
12:56
Speaker 2: in prison, and they were visited and they were helped.
13:00
Speaker 2: I'm at the judgment. Jesus commended them. They said, but Lord,
13:05
Speaker 2: we didn't know that we visited you. We didn't know
13:07
Speaker 2: that we fed you. We didn't know that we did
13:10
Speaker 2: that for you. Jesus said, if you did it under
13:12
Speaker 2: the least of these, you've done it unto me. And
13:17
Speaker 2: every time that you give of your time and your
13:21
Speaker 2: energy and your money to help those in need, you're
13:25
Speaker 2: helping Jesus. You're giving to him. And then he told
13:32
Speaker 2: the truth about judgment. He warned us to flee the
13:36
Speaker 2: wrath of God. Every idle word that men shall speak,
13:39
Speaker 2: they will give an account in the day of judgment.
13:42
Speaker 2: He said, there is a judgment coming. He told the
13:45
Speaker 2: truth about repentance. He said, except you repent, you shall perish.
13:51
Speaker 2: You say, but how do I repent? You say, Oh God,
13:56
Speaker 2: I've sinned. I'm willing to change my way of living,
14:00
Speaker 2: willing to live in a new dimension of life. I'm
14:02
Speaker 2: willing to follow you and serve you, no matter what
14:04
Speaker 2: the cost. That's repentance. And Jesus said, if you don't repent,
14:08
Speaker 2: you're going to perish. He told the truth about that.
14:12
Speaker 2: He told the truth about conversion. He said, except ye
14:15
Speaker 2: be converted and become as little children, you cannot enter
14:18
Speaker 2: the Kingdom of Heaven. Be converted. We're frightened of that
14:22
Speaker 2: word in religion. We use it in everything else, but
14:24
Speaker 2: not in religion. Young people want an experience, they want
14:32
Speaker 2: something that means something. They have their happenings, and they
14:35
Speaker 2: want to do their thing, and they want to take
14:37
Speaker 2: their drug, they want their kicks. And in the church
14:42
Speaker 2: we've stifled out any kind of religious experience. Jesus said,
14:46
Speaker 2: you need to be converted. I can remember the day
14:49
Speaker 2: I was converted. I had an experience with God. It
14:56
Speaker 2: wasn't an emotional experience with me. Some people, it is
15:00
Speaker 2: nothing wrong with emotion. We've got certainly emotional intellectualism today
15:04
Speaker 2: on campus. I see these intellects on campus on television,
15:09
Speaker 2: and boy, they're shouting it up pretty loud for their
15:12
Speaker 2: cause and what they believe. Now we allow motion for
15:19
Speaker 2: everything except Christ. If anybody sheds a tear on religion,
15:23
Speaker 2: they say, too much emotion. And that's one of the
15:25
Speaker 2: devil's lies, in the devil's tricks. So that we've lost
15:28
Speaker 2: all feeling in our faith and all joy in our faith,
15:32
Speaker 2: and all the excitement and the thrill that these early
15:35
Speaker 2: Christians had. Jesus said, you need to be converted. Now,
15:40
Speaker 2: the word conversion simply means to change. Turn around. You're
15:45
Speaker 2: going in one direction on the broad road that leads
15:48
Speaker 2: to destruction. Turn around and go in the right direction,
15:50
Speaker 2: go the narrow road that leads to eternal light. That's
15:53
Speaker 2: what it means conversion, to change, to turn around. Has
15:56
Speaker 2: that happened to you? Have you changed your way of living?
15:59
Speaker 2: Have you had an experience with Christ? Do you know him? Personally.
16:03
Speaker 2: You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make
16:07
Speaker 2: you free. Now, I know that there are many people
16:11
Speaker 2: that think they're free already, and they don't know Christ.
16:15
Speaker 2: They think they know how to live. The Bible says
16:17
Speaker 2: there is a there's a way outside of Christ that
16:21
Speaker 2: seems right in demand, it seems the right thing. But
16:25
Speaker 2: the end is death and judgment. I have a little boy,
16:30
Speaker 2: and when he was much smaller, three years of age,
16:32
Speaker 2: we were loaned a boat down in Florida and we
16:38
Speaker 2: were going down the river and my friend Lee Fisher
16:42
Speaker 2: was back there trying to get the fishing gear ready,
16:45
Speaker 2: and I was running the boat and my little boy
16:47
Speaker 2: and Ned said, Daddy, I want to run this boat.
16:52
Speaker 2: And I said, no, I don't think you know how
16:54
Speaker 2: to run it. Oh yes, I know exactly how to
16:56
Speaker 2: do it, he said, And he pushed my hands out
16:58
Speaker 2: of the way, so I let him have the wheels,
17:00
Speaker 2: and he was heading right toward the rocks. You see,
17:05
Speaker 2: we all say, Lord, we know how to run our lives.
17:08
Speaker 2: Don't you interfere. We're gonna be all right. We can
17:12
Speaker 2: handle it. Nothing we can't handle. But Jesus warns us
17:17
Speaker 2: that you're heading for the rocks. You're in trouble. Emptiness, neurosis,
17:22
Speaker 2: complexes of various sorts set in, and ultimately the judgment
17:28
Speaker 2: repent be converted while you can. Now is the accepted time.
17:36
Speaker 2: Today is the day of salvation. Now, what does the
17:41
Speaker 2: truth do? It sets you free. Ye shall know the truth,
17:44
Speaker 2: and the truth shall set you free from what. First
17:49
Speaker 2: It sets you free. Christ sets you free from the
17:52
Speaker 2: penalty of sin. Yes, there's a penalty of sin. Now,
17:55
Speaker 2: we're all sinners. Every one of us are sinner, and
17:58
Speaker 2: we're all under the penalty of sin, which is death.
18:01
Speaker 2: The wages of sin is death, the Bible says. Now
18:05
Speaker 2: death caris with it the idea of separation from God
18:09
Speaker 2: in this life and in the life to come. The
18:13
Speaker 2: rich young ruler came to Jesus, and he said, what
18:15
Speaker 2: must I do to inherit eternal life? He wanted life
18:19
Speaker 2: here and he wanted life to come because he felt
18:22
Speaker 2: the deadness of his spirit and the deadness of his soul.
18:28
Speaker 2: But he wasn't willing to pay the price. There's a
18:32
Speaker 2: price if you come to Christ. The rich young ruler
18:36
Speaker 2: tried to bargain with Jesus. He wanted Jesus to law
18:40
Speaker 2: the flag. He wanted Jesus to change the rules for
18:42
Speaker 2: him so he could get into the kingdom. But Jesus
18:45
Speaker 2: will never law the flag. He'll never compromise, he'll never
18:48
Speaker 2: change the rules. You've got to come to Christ, just
18:52
Speaker 2: like people did two thousand years ago, if you're ever
18:54
Speaker 2: to get to Heaven. We live in sophisticated America. We
18:59
Speaker 2: thought we had all the answers, and look at us
19:03
Speaker 2: sending a man to the moon with one hand and
19:06
Speaker 2: building gigantic bombs and rockets with the other to blow
19:13
Speaker 2: the world to pieces. Campus is torn apart, society being
19:22
Speaker 2: ripped apart. Now we don't have all the answers, because
19:27
Speaker 2: you see, we rejected the truth. We rejected Christ. Receive
19:33
Speaker 2: Christ in your life. Let him come and put the
19:36
Speaker 2: pieces back together in your life. Forgive your sin and
19:41
Speaker 2: give you purpose and meaning to your life, and take
19:44
Speaker 2: the penalty of sin away. There is therefore now no
19:47
Speaker 2: judgment to them that are in Christ. He removes the penalty. Secondly,
19:55
Speaker 2: he sets you. He can set you free from the
19:57
Speaker 2: power of sin. He said, whosoever committed sin is the
20:00
Speaker 2: servative sin in this chapter. But when you receive Christ,
20:06
Speaker 2: this power of sin to dominate your life is broken.
20:11
Speaker 2: Sin shall no longer dominate in your life, said Paul
20:14
Speaker 2: to the Romans. Sin shall no longer have dominion over you.
20:19
Speaker 2: You can reckon yourself to be dead to sin, so
20:23
Speaker 2: that sin may be in your life. You may commit
20:25
Speaker 2: a sin, but it doesn't dominate you. You don't make
20:28
Speaker 2: sin a practice in your life. You have power of
20:32
Speaker 2: a sin, the spirit of God living in you through
20:35
Speaker 2: a new nature that God gives you. And then thirdly,
20:41
Speaker 2: He sets us free ultimately from the very presence of sin.
20:45
Speaker 2: You read the Revelation, the twenty first chapter and the
20:48
Speaker 2: twenty second chapter, and you will see the most glorious
20:51
Speaker 2: description of heaven and the future world. And then it
20:54
Speaker 2: says this. It says, on the outside of this new world,
20:58
Speaker 2: this utopia that is called Heaven, that God is building
21:01
Speaker 2: now for those that trust Him. For without other sorcerers,
21:05
Speaker 2: the hormongers, the murderers, the idolatrous, and whosover loveth and
21:11
Speaker 2: maketh a lie, all liars, all people that live a lie,
21:18
Speaker 2: will be on the outside, he said, excluded and banished
21:23
Speaker 2: from the presence of God. Jesus said, I am the truth.
21:29
Speaker 2: Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set
21:34
Speaker 2: you free. There was an ad in the New York
21:39
Speaker 2: Times today, a whole page that said, come to life,
21:44
Speaker 2: great big box car letters, come to life. I'm asking
21:48
Speaker 2: you tonight to come to life, come to the truth,
21:52
Speaker 2: to the source of life, to Jesus Christ, the Son
21:56
Speaker 2: of God. Someday will be removed from the very presence
22:02
Speaker 2: of sin and the devil in all lies. We shall
22:07
Speaker 2: overcome someday till then we can have God's life right
22:15
Speaker 2: here on this earth. We can have a little bit
22:17
Speaker 2: of heaven. We can be set free from the bondage
22:19
Speaker 2: of sin and slavery and the devil. Right now, Christ
22:24
Speaker 2: can set you free. I'm asking you tonight by faith
22:28
Speaker 2: to receive Him, to receive the truth. Notice I said
22:33
Speaker 2: by faith, you cannot come with your mind alone, because
22:37
Speaker 2: your mind was affected by sin. You have to come
22:40
Speaker 2: like a little child, except you become His children and
22:43
Speaker 2: be converted, said Jesus. You have to come like a
22:46
Speaker 2: little child, by simple childlike faith and receiving. And if
22:51
Speaker 2: you will, he comes into your heart, gives you a
22:54
Speaker 2: new nature and you can go out and live a
22:57
Speaker 2: new life. Now it's hard, and it's and it's rough
23:00
Speaker 2: to follow Christ. I don't want you to come under
23:03
Speaker 2: any false illusion. But when you make that commitment, you
23:09
Speaker 2: don't go back into the world and back to your
23:11
Speaker 2: house and back to your neighborhood to live the Christian
23:14
Speaker 2: life alone. He goes with you, I'm going to ask
23:18
Speaker 2: you to come tonight and receive Him openly and publicly.
23:22
Speaker 2: Every person that he called and then your testimony called publicly.
23:25
Speaker 2: There was a reason for him. He said, if you're
23:28
Speaker 2: not willing to acknowledge me before men, I'll not acknowledge
23:30
Speaker 2: you before my father, which is in heaven. Come publicly.
23:35
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you from all over the stadium
23:38
Speaker 2: to get up out of your seat, hundreds of you,
23:40
Speaker 2: and come and stand it in front of this platform,
23:43
Speaker 2: quietly and reverently and say, tonight, I want to receive Christ.
23:46
Speaker 2: I want the truth. I want the truth to dominate
23:50
Speaker 2: my life. But you get up and come right now
23:53
Speaker 2: from all over men, women, young people. God has spoken
23:57
Speaker 2: to you tonight. You need Christ. You come. We're going

Speaker 2: to wait.
