The Servant Abideth Not in the House Forever
John 8: 31-36
As the Lord preached the gospel "many believed on him”. But as soon as the Lord spoke of being made free those who did not believe, protested, saying, “We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?”
The Lord Jesus answered those who claimed freedom by their natural relationship to Abraham, saying, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” Those who have not been born of the Spirit of God and given faith in Christ Jesus are children of the flesh, of the bondwoman, under the law and must be cast out as allegorized in Abraham’s son Ishmael (Galatians 3: 21-31; John 3: 19-21)
