To Owe Nothing

Good Morning!! Imagine a debt-free life,...an existence without the irritation of those nagging phone calls or payments hanging over your head every month. It's a prospect that has led financial counselors to create various get-out-of-debt plans, that offer relief from financial worry. These are some of the suggestions they make: Stop all buying on credit. Cut down on your grocery bill. Do things yourself instead of paying to have them done. Quit being an impulse buyer. Although I can't say I'm completely debt-free (I've payed off my house, and have other bills due each month, current and in control),...I can testify that in a different and much more important sense, I have no debts. When it comes to worrying about how to get out from under the weight of my sin, I don't have a care in the world.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.—Romans 6:23 (NIV)

At one time, I was under the sentence of death because of my sin, but when I put my faith in Jesus Christ my debt was paid off (Rom. 4:7). The penalty of those sins was eliminated, and I am debt-free. It's a great feeling! Having God credit your account with Christ's righteousness, where sin's penalty used to be. Accept Jesus' payment for your sins, and get out of debt!

Christ paid a debt He didn't owe, to satisfy a debt we couldn't pay.

The moment that we trust in Jesus, we're forgiven and cleansed within,
for all-sufficient is Christ's blood, to pay the debt of every sin.

"Focus on the Kingdom of God,...don't give up, and don't give in."
