Jesus paid our debt once and for all and now we owe only one thing.
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellow man has fulfilled the law.
Romans 13:8 New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
This is not talking about your day to day bills and debts. This is the debt we owe to God. Jesus paid our debt once and for all and now we owe only one. Thank God I don’t owe the debt for my sin, Jesus paid that in full with His Blood on the Cross. But I owe others the same love, respect and grace with which God has treated me! That is the debt I now owe, to live the life of Christ, since He lives within me and to share that love and life with everyone.
MY PRAYER…
Holy God who owns all things, I thank You for not just owning me, but for having bought me out of slavery, sin, sickness, disease, poverty, oppression, and death. Please re-kindle Your Holy love in my heart through Your Holy Spirit so I will be able to love others as You do. Father, give me the want to and the power to do so In Jesus’ name.
Amen
