When Debts Remain

“But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” — Matthew 6:15

The gospel is not speaking about feelings.

It is speaking about keeping accounts.

Just moments earlier, we were taught to pray,

“Forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.”

Debt language.

Economic language.

To forgive means to release.

To cancel.

To let it go.

In the ancient world, debt meant bondage.

Loss of freedom.

Generational burden.

And we begin to see what this means:

If we will not release others,

we cannot live in a world of freedom.

As long as one account stays open,

the system of obligation remains.

If we believe our debt still defines us,

we will live as though we are still bound.

But the Kingdom of Heaven

is not built on outstanding accounts.

It is a love-centered way of life

where debts are released

and we are free to live differently.

To fully experience freedom — personally and together —

all debts must be released.

Theirs.

And ours.

None can remain.

This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

Peace be with you.
