“For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,” 1 Timothy 2:5 (ESV)
Another month begins and with it come the monthly bills that must be paid if we want to remain out of debt. We all desire to live a debt free life, right? Well, there is a debt that was laid upon each of us the moment we were conceived — a debt that we on our own could never pay or get out from under (Romans 3:23). That debt? Sin. We have all sinned because with the fall of Adam and Eve in the garden sin entered humanity for all future generations to come — including you and me! So what do we do with a debt we incur that we have no way of paying? Look to Jesus Christ. He paid off the debt of anyone who would call upon His name and believe in Him as Lord (Romans 6:23; 10:9). When we repent of our sin and confess Jesus as Lord, He brings us back into right fellowship with God and becomes the mediator between us and God. Through the lens of the blood Jesus shed on Calvary, God no longer sees our sins but sees the perfect sacrifice of His Son and through it our justification (redemption to Him). Get out of debt today! Call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!
