“[God] having cancelled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.” (Col 2:14) NLT
It was recently reported that the UK debt to GDP ratio is 103.7%. The nation is also dealing with a ‘cost of living’ crisis. Our incomes are increasingly struggling to keep up with our outgoings. The usage of food banks has increased, and debt consolidation companies have lots of business. Governments borrow money to try and lessen the financial burden by ploughing money into trying to support households and companies. Still, the debt continues to grow, and the load increases, affecting inflation. Monetary/financial debt certainly seems to be tightening its grip. But did you know the bible also talks about humanity’s standing before God using debt language?
