" You Can Be Debt Free ! "

 

YOU ARE IN DEBT TO GOD.

The Bible asks this question, "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul ?" (Mark 8:36). You might be debt free or even financially successful; however, the Bible states that you are in debt to GOD. "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one . . . For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD;" (Romans 3:10,23). Your debt to GOD must be paid.

ONLY DEATH CAN PAY YOUR DEBT.

The Bible states, "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Romans 5:12). "For the wages of sin is death. . ." (Romans 6:23a). Your payment you owe for your sin is death. However, this death is more than just physical death. The Bible says, "The wicked shall be turned into Hell . . ." (Psalm 9:17a). "And Death and Hell were cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death." (Revelation 20:14). After you die, the payment for sin has only just begun, and you will pay the debt of your sin for all eternity. The Bible asks, "Who among us shall dwell with devouring fire ? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings ?" (Isaiah 33:14b)

SOMEONE HAS ALREADY PAID YOUR DEBT.

Friend, because of GOD's great love for you, HE has paid your sin debt in full ! Although it is your debt, and you are responsible for its payment, JESUS paid it all out of HIS mercy and pure love for you. Romans 5:8-9 states, "But GOD commendeth HIS love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us. Much more then, being now justified by HIS blood, we shall be saved from wrath through HIM." JESUS died on the cross and shed HIS blood to pay your debt of sin in full ! The Bible says in Colossians 1:14, "In WHOM we have redemption through HIS blood, even the forgiveness of sins:"

"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, . . .For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that HE was buried, and that HE rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:" (1st.Corinthians 15:1-2a,3-4). JESUS CHRIST did not stay in the grave, but HE arose from the dead, proving HE is GOD. HIS resurrection is our guarantee that HIS payment is good for all eternity. "Wherefore HE is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto GOD by HIM, seeing HE ever liveth to make intercession for them." (Hebrews 7:25).

YOU MUST CLAIM THE PAYMENT FOR YOURSELF.

JESUS CHRIST died to pay the debt of sin, in full, for everyone; however, not everyone has claimed the payment. Have you ? You must claim HIS payment for your debt by faith. Faith is simply placing your complete trust in CHRIST. To escape burning forever in the Lake of Fire, you must trust JESUS CHRIST and the payment HE made on the cross. "For GOD so loved the world, that HE gave HIS only begotten SON, that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16).

The LORD JESUS CHRIST said, ". . .except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Luke 13:3). Are you willing to turn to GOD from your sin (that is repentance) ? The decision is yours. The payment for sin is final. Your eternity depends upon it. John 3:36 states, "He that believeth on the SON hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the SON shall not see life; but the wrath of GOD abideth on him."

GOD promised you, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD JESUS, and shalt believe in thine heart that GOD hath raised HIM from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9). "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved." (Romans 10:13).

If you would be willing to turn to CHRIST in repentance and faith, pray this simple prayer of salvation:

LORD, I know that I am a sinner, and I believe YOU died and rose again for me. I am trusting YOU to forgive me. Come into my heart and save me. Help me to live for YOU always. In JESUS' name I pray, AMEN.

The LORD JESUS said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth MY WORD, and believeth on HIM that sent ME, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."  That is what being DEBT FREE means.

Your servant in CHRIST,

Julie
