The financial crisis over the past few years has increased the amount of personal debt for the average household.  When you consider credit card, mortgage, and student loan debt, American families are drowning in approximately $200,000 of financial liability. When you factor in that most families pay only the minimal monthly payments, the scenario gets worse.  Most individuals who are in debt actually stay in debt a majority of their lives.

     Suppose a generous individual graciously volunteered to pay off all your debt with no strings attached.  Free and clear you own your home, your bills are paid, and the monthly payments cease.  Within moments your obligation is relieved; you are free from your financial burden.  It is safe to assume you would be ecstatic, thankful, and hopeful about your newfound freedom.  You would have no problem sharing with others how this individual’s kindness and charity changed your life.

     Christ has done more than liberate us from the bondage of financial woes; He has, once and for all, paid the sin debt of every person in the world.  He has settled the accounts and guaranteed our freedom from the penalty of sin, which is death.  If that be the case, tell someone today of the forgiveness and freedom you have discovered in Christ.
