Get out of debt

The debt problem

  • Habakkuk 2:7
    7  Will not your debtors suddenly arise? Will they not wake up and make you tremble? Then you will become their victim.


Proper method

  • Romans 13:7-8
    7  Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
    8  Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law.


Comments

  • Debt causes you to live in a state of fear.  The Bible clearly states that we are to pay people what we owe them.  Don't fool yourself into believing debt is ok.
