Dumping our Debts

Our church is in the middle of Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University. Dave Ramsey is a Christian financial counselor who teaches common sense about money. Several of us recently cut up our credit cards making the commitment to get and stay out of financial debt. It took a lot of willpower and much faith. I was thrilled to see about a dozen families take this huge step in erasing their debt.
As sinners we have all incurred spiritual debt. That spiritual debt is known Biblically as sin. If we don’t somehow pay off that debt of sin, only death awaits us. “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) However, God offers to pay that spiritual debt through the sacrifice of His son Jesus Christ. “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Corinthians 5:21) Jesus will take your debt of sin and zero out your account, if you only let Him!
