Something That is FREE
That Is Too Expensive

Did you know you have a type of 'Credit Card ' with no spending limit that lets you get anything you want? Yes, and it is called Free Will — but just because it is 'FREE' doesn’t mean it is not going to cost you something... and here’s how you run up your balance.

Each time you sin that transgression is added to the ledger of your debt and the Bible warns us that the danger is that the balance due is like having a card with a compounding interest rate that is so high that no matter how hard we try to offset that debt (and pay it off by doing good works) It Is A Debt That Can NEVER Be Repaid. Your unlimited free will credit card allows you to 'Charge Ahead' without being aware that when the final statement comes it will be impossible to 'Pay Off The Penalty'.

However there is a way to erase that sin-debt and this is what God’s MERCY and GRACE is all about.

You see the message of the Gospel is that when Christ died on the cross, the Bible says that his blood was the 'Atonement' for our sin debt. That means your debt for your sins was forgiven. In fact, Jesus’ last words before he died were “It is Finished ” and the Greek word used there is a financial accounting term which means 'A Debt That Has Been Paid In FULL'.

This is God’ love for us on full display
because MERCY means
“NOT Getting The PENALTY We DO Deserve”
while GRACE is
“Receiving The BLESSINGS We DO DESERVE”

God is both Merciful and Gracious. He knows the compounding debt of sin you have accrued on your account can never be paid by your good works or human efforts and that is why Jesus Christ has already paid that debt for you. All you need to do is ask for forgiveness and commit to live a life to not keep using that unlimited sin credit card.

Friend, do not let the time period of your sin-debt statement expire once YOU EXPIRE because then the the time of debt-forgiveness will BE expired and then full payment on your debt is due and “(that) penalty for sin is death.” (Romans 6:23)

If you have not done so, will you take him up on his offer to cover your sin balance?
Or will you choose to continue to Freely Spend...
- and add more debt to your sin account?
