Debt

One of my favorite scriptures is Mosiah 2:22 "And behold, all that he requires of you is to keep his commandments; and he has promised you that if you keep his commandments ye should prosper in the land; and he never doth vary from that which he hath said; therefore, if ye do keep his commandments he doth bless you and prosper you" I love the promise the Lord gives to all people in this verse. It is simple keep my commandments and i will bless you and prosper you. I know for a fact that he keeps his promise. In the next couple verses it talks about the debt we owe to him. He gave his life so we could live and all he asks in return is obedience to a few commandments, which when we are obedient he immediately blesses our lives so we are again in his debt. I don't know about anybody else, but if i had to have any debt, I would not want any other debtor that the Lord. When was the last time you took out a debt and the lender continued to give before the debt was paid. That is what the Lord does for us. He keeps giving even when we have not been able to pay.

  1. I like the fact that the Lord doesn't charge interest. He gives us everything and all He asks in return is that we keep His commandments. There aren't additional hoops to jump through or a heavier price to pay if we get too far in debt to Him. In the end, Jesus is the one who balances our account and pays the difference.
