'If you abide (keep,continue,stand,stomach,comply,conform,endure,put up,bear,heed,suffer etc.) in my words (teachings), you are my disciples and then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.' As a believer i have witness sermons by men of GOD saying,'Know the truth and the truth will set you free.' i was struggling to swallow this teaching, because i know the truth and i believe JESUS is my only Savior, Prince of Peace, Good Shepherd, Great High Priest, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God and Everlasting Father. Why i am not free from sins that i keep falling back to? i asked GOD my helper the HOLY SPIRIT(TEACHER). As the gift of GOD makes me to continue to read the Bible, i stumble upon this same scripture and the HOLY SPIRIT help me to understand the truth why? i encourage you brethrens, to spend some quiet time reading the Holy Scripture and may GOD the FATHER in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST bless you with spiritual descernment in the Holy Scripture. Remember, the anointing(HOLY SPIRIT) is in you and HE is your teacher in all truth.
