The Indebted Life

THE INDEBTED LIFE

Pastor Mark Johnson

May 11, 2008

 

2 Timothy 3:14-17

The Bible gives instructions for a better life

Many of these revelations run against the flesh and face opposition from the teaching in American culture. 

 

THE INDEBTED LIFE 

The Bible, our instruction manual for a better world, says that we have some debt

Exodus 20:12

I.  WE HAVE A DEBT TO OUR MOTHERS AND FATHERS

The payment for that debt is honor

What does it mean to honor them? 

  • Honor her righteous desire
  • Honor her righteous request
  • Honor her righteous position

We carry a debt to their righteous position in our lives. 

      1. Honor their special days.

      2. Honor them with appropriate words

This is a life debt of honor and the world is a better place when it is paid. 

 

II. WE OWE A DEBT OF LOVE TO OTHERS.

Romans 13:8

The Bible teaches us that we do have a responsibility to others. We have a debt of love.

This is marked by desires and actions that want the best for others. 

This passage teaches us that we are our brother’s keeper

The debt we owe is a debt of love. Capture the words, continuing debt

 

III. WE OWE A DEBT TO JESUS.

John 3:16

We owe a debt to Jesus that is paid in our belief

This belief plays out two ways:

  1. in our obedience to Him
  2. in our confidence in Him

The world becomes a better place when we live our lives as debtors
