Chris.
We all had
a debt, this debt was hostile to us, if we are True Believers this debt is now
cancelled. Jesus Christ has taken the debt out of the way at the Cross. This is
exactly why the book of Romans tells True Believers to owe nothing to anyone, to
keep out of debt. Sadly many do not heed this advice and get themselves into
much bondage because of financial debt. When I read the news I read nearly
every day of groups of loan sharks being arrested. Today, I read in the news of
a major bank being fined because of its misdemeanours. We need Wisdom as True
Believers as to how we live and in deciding which bank to use.
