A Debt Paid in Full 
Colossians 2:13-14

Mankind has a debt problem. In the physical world, our desire for a higher standard of living and more "stuff" has led to burdensome credit card balances and unwieldy mortgage payments. The weight of what we owe can cause restless nights and the feeling that we're trapped. We long for someone to rescue us from the mess we have made.

However, material indebtedness isn't our biggest problem. Our sin-debt is. All of us were born with a "flesh" nature that prompts us to rebel against the Lord. Our rebelliousness is an affront to His holy nature, incurring a debt that we owe to Him. Until this penalty is paid, we are under God's righteous judgment and remain spiritually separated from Him (Eph. 2:1-2). The trouble is, we are unable to pay what's due. No amount of good works, self-sacrifice, or religious devotion will lessen what we owe. 

So God, in His great mercy, sent His Son to rescue us. Jesus Christ left heaven and all of its glory so He could come to earth to live and die for us (Phil. 2:6-7). Although the cost to our Savior was enormous, He willingly paid the price we owed. He took our sins upon Himself, bore them to the cross, and discharged our debt in full. Hallelujah!

When we receive Jesus as our Savior, His atoning work is credited to our account. We become children of God and co-heirs with Christ—we're changed from debtors to inheritors (1 Peter 1:3-4). Let the knowledge of His sacrifice on the cross permeate your thinking, attitude, and choices.

        Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if [a] man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.

Song of Solomon 8:7    		  
  
 Will Sing of My Redeemer 

I will sing of my Redeemer, 
  And His wondrous love to me; 
On the cruel cross He suffered, 
  From the curse to set me free.

I will tell the wondrous story, 
  How my lost estate to save, 
In His boundless love and mercy, 
  He the ransom freely gave.

I will praise my dear Redeemer, 
  His triumphant pow'r I'll tell, 
How the victory He giveth 
  Over sin, and death, and hell.

I will sing of my Redeemer, 
  And His heav'nly love to me; 
He from death to life hath brought me, 
  Son of God with Him to be.

(Chorus)

Sing, oh, sing of my Redeemer, 
   With His blood 
         He purchased me, 
On the cross He sealed my pardon, 
    Paid the debt, and made me free.

On Faith

"And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief" (Matt. 13:58).

"Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, 'Why could we not drive it out?' And He said to them, 'Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you'" (Matt. 17:19-21).

"And he said, ' . . . If You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!' And Jesus said to him, '"If You can?" All things are possible to him who believes.' Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, 'I do believe; help my unbelief'" (Mark 9:21-24).

"And Jesus said to him, 'Receive your sight; your faith has made you well'" (Luke 18:42).

"Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me" (John 14:1).

"For we walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Cor. 5:7).

"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him" (Heb. 11:1, 6).

"What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? Just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead" (James 2:14, 26).
