Your Question:
How did I end up with a debt I can't pay?
Answer:
The reason you ended up with a debt you can't pay is because you've violated the terms of a contract. When you buy something on credit, it's not necessarily a debt, but when you fail to meet the terms, scriptural debt occurs. This can happen when you owe money for goods or services, or when the value of your unsecured liabilities exceeds your total assets. As a Christian, it's essential to get out of debt when any of these conditions apply. This is because getting into debt can lead to a way of life that's not in line with God's will. It's like becoming like the people you're borrowing from, and getting trapped in their way of life. The Bible warns against this, saying that when you act as a guarantor for someone, you can expose yourself to a situation where you have an obligation to pay, but no means to do so. In my own life, I've learned the importance of facing financial crises head-on. I recall a situation where I needed to come up with a large down payment for a house. I prayed and sought God's guidance, and He provided the funds in an unexpected way. I learned that with God, all things are possible, and that He can help us overcome seemingly insurmountable financial challenges. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with debt, and I've encouraged them to take responsibility for their finances and seek God's guidance in getting out of debt.
