The record's clear today. ( 1 John 1 v 7 )

The world is in debt ,it is a bit frightening when you hear the sums nations owe, and of course many people our in debt.I am sure if there was such a thing as a debtors prison, as there was in Victorian times, they would be full to overflowing,Charles Dickens father ended up in such a place. There is a wonderful Christian ministry called ,'Christians against poverty', CAP as it is known..Serious as it is to get into debt, the Bible tells us that the whole world is accumulating another kind debt,and its a debt we cannot pay, I am reminding you of the consequences of our sin,every time we sin,our sins our recorded in heaven, in Revelation 20 we read of two books,one was a record of all the sins we have ever committed ,judgement will be passed,and all whose sins are not forgiven, will be cast into the lake of fire , where they will spend eternity.One could call it the book of  death,There is another book called the book of life,all who have trusted Jesus and  received forgiveness of sins,they are no longer as it were in debt , saved from judgement and the wrath of God.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Well, there was a time on earth,in the books of heaven,                                                                            That an old account was standing,for sins unforgiven,                                                                              My name was at the top, there were many things below,                                                                           But I went up to the keeper,and I settled it long ago,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Long  ago, yes long ago, ( I settled it all)                                                                                                  I said the old account was settled long ago,                                                                                              And my record's clear today,He washed my sins away                                                                            And the old account was settled long ago.                                                                                                        ( Words by Johnny Cash )
