Repay

How much do I owe? Every time we purchase a house, vehicle or some other item of significance, debt can be a consideration.  Today, most of us purchase almost everything with a credit card. I haven’t carried change around with me for years.  My hamburger and fries are acquired with plastic.

However, have you ever considered how much we owe others, namely, those who have invested in us to make us what we are today?

Here is a list of Bible verses on the subject:

Philemon 1:19

I, Paul, am writing with my own hand. I will repay—not to mention to you that you owe me even your own self besides.

Romans 13:7

Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.

Many young men and women joined the armed services because they believed they owed their country something. Many people stayed in a difficult marriage because they believed they owed that to their children. Many children cared for their elderly parents because they felt indebted to them.

Do you have any debts that need attention?

Think about it.
