Have you ever borrowed something from a friend or family member? Maybe a toy, a book, or even some money? When we borrow something, we must give it back, right? That's what a debt is: something we owe someone else. 
 
But did you know that we all have a debt we can't pay back on our own? It's the debt of sin. Sin is anything we do that goes against what God wants us to do. The Bible says that the wages of sin—what must be paid—is death. That means that because of our sin, we deserve to be separated from God forever. But here's the good news: Jesus paid our debts! 
 
Jesus’ perfect life and sacrifice on the cross has made us right with God. He has paid the debt we owe and given us credit for His righteousness. So, the next time you borrow something or owe someone a debt, remember that Jesus paid our debts too—the biggest debt of all. And because of Him, we can have new life and hope in Him forever. 
 
 
Jesus can forgive anyone. When we trust in Jesus, God forgives our sin and invites us into His family. He calls us to tell others about Him so they might believe in Jesus and be saved.

For Fun
Praise Jesus as the Redeemer who took the punishment for sin and paid the debt we owed. Thank Him for being the perfect sacrifice that brings peace with God to all who believe in Him.

To Serve
Ask God to give you courage and passion to tell others about Jesus. Praise Him for the gift of His Son to save us from sin and think about how this is good news for those you will tell.
