Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:4-5 [KJV]
If you were to find out that all our debts are forgiven and we did not owe any creditor anything, how would you feel? What would you do with a complete reset of your finances? Would you go out and buy more stuff, would you give away more money, would you save everything and amass more wealth or something else completely.
For our life, Christ came to reset our debt with God. His arrival, life, teaching and death took on all our sins and allowed us to have a clear path to God. As we are starting to get into the spirit of the season, let us remember that Christ came to free us from the debt of sin. The reason for the season is that we have been forgiven and given a new start. Let us celebrate the fact that God has cleared our slate and let us share that good news with others.
Be Encouraged,
Martin

Just being debt free is a reward, because we could help our fellowman as the Holy Spirit led and direct.
I would welcome being debt free so I could help someone who is down and out this day. Presently, I help with what I have and still God is blessing.
