Biblical Answer

The Question: What's the point of living if I'm in debt?!

#### Debt and the Value of Life

Living in debt can be overwhelming, making it challenging to see the purpose of life. However, it's essential to understand that debt is not a reflection of one's worth or the value of life. The Bible teaches us that our worth and value come from our relationship with God, not from our financial situation. As the Bible says, "For you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies." (1 Corinthians 6:20) This verse reminds us that we are valuable to God, regardless of our financial status.

#### Prioritizing Spiritual Growth Over Financial Worries

While financial struggles can be a significant burden, it's crucial to prioritize spiritual growth over financial worries. The Bible teaches us to focus on our relationship with God and to live a life that reflects His values. As Jesus said, "Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33) This verse reminds us that our spiritual growth and relationship with God are more important than our financial situation. By focusing on our spiritual growth, we can find peace and purpose in life, even in the midst of financial struggles.

#### The Power of Forgiveness and New Beginnings

The Bible also teaches us about the power of forgiveness and new beginnings. Through Jesus, we have been forgiven for many lifetimes worth of debt against our Heavenly Father. This forgiveness gives us the opportunity to start anew and to live a life that reflects God's values. As the Bible says, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" (2 Corinthians 5:17) This verse reminds us that we have the power to start anew and to live a life that is free from the burdens of debt and financial worries. By focusing on our spiritual growth and relationship with God, we can find purpose and meaning in life, even in the midst of financial struggles.
