Are You Living Debt-Free?
Read Colossians 2:11-15
Today’s Truth
We were born sinners. We have added to our sin debt every day of our lives. Jesus paid for all of our sin — past, present, and future — and forgives our debt when we put our faith and trust in Him.
The typical American household carries an average debt of $137,063, according to debt.org. Now, imagine how it would feel to be debt-free. Every cent paid. The feeling you’re having right now is how God encourages us to respond to having our sin debt paid.
Discussion Questions
- Why do you think money shows up often as a metaphor for our spiritual condition?
- How has experiencing God’s extreme love and generosity changed you?
Application
We were dead, and now we’re alive! (Colossians 2:13) We were captive, and now we’re free! (Colossians 2:15)
God’s extreme love and generosity should blow us away. When we feel the weight of what God’s done, it changes us. It frees us to see the world differently and to live for Him — rather than being controlled by our sin.
