A world in debt

“If you’re found guilty before a human court, payment is usually demanded either in the form of a financial penalty – a fine – or time that you serve in prison. And once that debt is paid, you are declared free. You’ve paid your dues, you’ve served your time.” (The Grace Course handbook)

“You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. 14 He cancelled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.” (Colossians 2:13-14) God’s remedy

Living innocent Be realistic about sin Be ruthless with guilt Live forgiven and free

“You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.” Micah 7:19
