This last Tuesday I was able to pay off Ana’s car loan 3 months ahead of schedule. I was so excited I posted the good news on Facebook and received almost 80 likes and comments!
We all love to hear stories of people breaking free from debt, because we’ve all been there ourselves. We all know how heavy the weight of those monthly payments can be. We all remember the feeling of desperation when there is more month left at the end of the money.
Paying off the car loan was quite an accomplishment and I thank God for making it possible, but I’ve got more good news. The auto loan wasn’t the only debt I’ve been set free from. I had a far greater debt, one I had no hope of ever repaying – the debt of my sin. But, thanks to Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross today I am DEBT FREE!!!
This morning I’ve got good news for you too! No matter how heavy the weight of your sin, no matter how great the debt you owe, you too can be DEBT FREE! God promises in 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
The debt has already been paid by God on the Cross, because “the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7). All you need to do is accept the payment and be set free. And “if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:36).
Why struggle any longer under your burden of guilt and shame, a debt you no longer owe? Jesus paid the price! You are DEBT FREE! Just accept the gift right now and let Jesus lift the burden away today! Then go and tell someone else the good news so they too can be set free!
Have a Happy Sabbath!
BTW: If you’ve become DEBT FREE because of Jesus’ gift share the good news by posting “I’m DEBT FREE!” in the comments below. Then we can all celebrate with you!
