Spreading the Love of Jesus throughout the World

Bills, bills, bills. They never seem to stop. We sometimes wonder which we'll run out of first -- the payments or the money to pay them. We look forward to seeing the words "PAID IN FULL" written across a bill, indicating that we have fulfilled our obligation and owe nothing more.

Hundreds of years ago, tax collectors wrote "It is finished" on tax receipts to show that a person's obligation had been PAID IN FULL. It was a declaration that nothing else was owed to satisfy the debt.

Almost two thousand years ago, on the cross of Calvary, Jesus Christ uttered the words "It is finished," indicating the completion of a debt payment of everlasting significance. After speaking those words, Jesus bowed His head and gave up His spirit (John 19:30).

With His death on the cross, Jesus Christ suffered the pain and punishment for the debt of the entire world -- your sins and mine. Our debt -- what we owed to God because of sin -- was so great that we could never pay it off ourselves. "Who can say, 'I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin'?" (Proverbs 20:9). Because we were hopelessly in debt, "He [God] made Him [Jesus] who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Corinthians 5:21).

God is satisfied that Christ's payment is sufficient to fully cover your debt of sin. All that He asks is that you admit you owe the debt and accept Christ's payment on your behalf.

For all who, by faith, trust in the death of Jesus to pay for their sins, God promises that He will declare their debt PAID IN FULL and credit their account with Christ's perfect righteousness! "He who believes in the Son has everlasting life" (John 3:36).

Have you settled your debt with God? He loves you so much that He provided the Way for you to have your outstanding balance cleared. Right now, you can have the assurance that your debt with God is PAID IN FULL. Simply admit your debt (confess), turn away from sin (repent), and accept (believe in) His Son's sacrifice, which was required because of your sins. Ask God for His Free Gift of Life in Jesus, and this will be the day when "you shall know that I [Jesus] am in my Father, and you in Me, and I in you" (John 14:20).
