In 1626 the Dutch West India Company purchased Manhattan island for 60 guilders, or about $24. If that 'Little Thing' was put into an account at 7% a year, the amount of compounded interest today would be over seven million dollars.
We all also are depositing into a special account of every “little thing” that we have done, thought or said recorded on a ledger in a book in heaven of every sin we have committed, and each deposit is compounded with interest to an amount that becomes SO GREAT that we can never pay it back.
Jesus warned us about this in Matthew 12:3 that one day “all shall give account thereof in the day of judgment” and Revelation 20:12 describes this time saying:
“...the small and great shall stand before God;
And The Books Were Opened,
And another book was opened, which is the book of life
And the dead were judged out of those things
Which were written in the books,
According To Their Works.”
What will be 'paid' as our reward for our miscreant actions are starkly stated in Romans 6:23 saying:
“The wages of sin is death” but here is the Good News (literally the meaning of the word 'Gospel'!) because the last part of this verse says “...the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord(!)”
You see, when Christ died on the cross His sacrifice “(paid) for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.” Instead of the debt of death we would have owed, Colossians 2:13-14 tells us instead that
“God made us alive together with him,
having FORGIVEN us all our trespasses
by CANCELLING the record of DEBT that against us.”
The compounding and literally deadly debt of sin is erased from the ledger for all those that believe in Christ, confess their sin, and proclaim it!
Friend, what is the current balance of your sin ledger?
Still DUE, or PAID IN FULL?
