Episode 11: He Paid Our Debt

“And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This He set aside nailing it to the cross.” (Colossians 2:13-15)

What is this saying? God didn’t just take all our sin, ball it up, and throw it into the sea. The debt was not just canceled and forgotten. God is just. Every ounce of debt accumulated must be paid for. It cannot be ignored. Justice demands that it is not overlooked or swept under the rug.

How is the cancelation of our debt possible? Because He laid it upon His Son, Jesus the Christ. And crushed Him for it!
