Settle your debts

Matthew 5:25-26 (New International Version)


 25"Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Ponder this: Sin is your adversary and he is taking you to court. Since the wages of sin is death, when you stand before the Most High God, the perfect judge of the Universe, you will have to pay up for your many sins. That fine is death aka an eternity of torment in hell. Jesus is kindly warning us in the above scripture that while sin is taking us to court and while we are still alive we should settle our debts. Jesus paid our fine for us. He died for us and was tormented in place of us so we wouldn't have to be. All we have to do is believe that Jesus is the Son of God and He did what He said He did and our debts will be cleared.
