The truth will set you free...free from the 2nd death

Many, if not all evangelicals, believe in "FREEDOM" and with "FREEDOM" they claim "FREEDOM" for their religion and rights.

They justify this claim for this "FREEDOM" by usually quoting John 8:32 wherein "Jesus said “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” .

But LORD Jesus was NOT refering to this "FREEDOM" that is claimed by evangelicals and mankind.

What 'freedom' was He refering to when He said "...the truth will set you free"?

The answer is GIVEN by Lord Lord Jesus a few lines before John 8:32, in John 8:24.

John 8:24 ..."I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.”

Clearly, the truth , and Lord Jesus is the Truth and the Way, will set one free ( i.e. DELIVER one) from death ( the death (i.e. 2nd death) because of one's sins).

Note that the "FREEDOM", that the evangelicals and mankind worship, instead justifies and redefines one's sin to not be sin, but a human right.
