If
as a free man you could not pay your debts;
from
jail there is no hope to pay your debts.
The greatest need of every man is to be forgiven and the reason is
because he cannot pay what he owes.
He does not have what it takes to pay his debts.
He does not have enough even if he would barrow from others.
Forgiveness is necessary because MAN CAN NOT PAY WHAT
HE OWES.
No one can forgive such a great debt but GOD WHO ALONE CAN AND DOES FORGIVE and
all because he is LOVE, MERCIFUL, GRACIOUS AND COMPASSIONATE.
God alone can satisfied his own Just requirements from a soul “THE MAN WHO SIN
MUST DIED”.
God in Jesus paid to himself the debt that men could not pay.
Jesus had no sin but in a substitutionary death Jesus died to make us free from
death though his resurrection, that is also our
resurrection.
So now we are, “Over flowing with hope”.
As free man and without debt our trademark as forgiving men is to be eager to
forgive others.
As partakers of a new nature and status before God in Jesus, we must long to
see others free tasting the sweetness of freedom from the Lord.
Our Lord said, “I want mercy not sacrifice.”
It’s not by works we are saved but by grace. To a kingdom of grace we are
called and we must live by grace and let others live by grace also.
The taunting task of a forgiven person is not to only to enjoy freedom but to
be a champion of freedom by opening any detention center or jails as Jesus in
the resurrection has broken the Jaws of death as open gates not to hold
prisoner to the elect of God unto salvation and freedom.
FORGIVE OTHERS AS GOD IN JESUS HAS FORGIVEN YOU.
God will not have for innocent him who has no mercy and seeks not the freedom
of the oppressed by sin.
You will never be more like God as when you seek unilaterally to set free those
who live in bondage.
Go to the ends of the world to extend the right hand of fellowship in Jesus’
name.
God in Jesus through us like a beggar is asking for reconciliation not holding
the debt of sin against men.
If you are one with God, you will have no room for pride but be willing to
allow no sleep to your eyes until the incomparable agreement of reconciliation
in yours and along with it the limitless power of God that put all things a
prayer away.
I salute you in agreement with the will of God and wish you a wonderful Sunday
as you are mindful of God and his love for you.
