The Spiritual Consequences of Unpaid Debts

Whatever wealth and possessions we have accumulated on this earth, if we commit offenses, we will pay for them. The authorities will arrest us. Whenever you break the law in society, there are punishments established by the law for every respective offense. When the law is breached, the person who commits the offense is penalized by law. Whatever his position or possessions, he will face the law. He will be interrogated and arrested.

But not all offenses lead to imprisonment or arrest. There are offenses that require you to pay compensation and indemnification. It is the same with God. All the sins we commit on earth lead to hell. But while men and women are still on the earth, their sins can be repaired except for blasphemy against the spirit. On the other hand, there are laws established by God for the reparation of every respective sin.

The offender who has broken the law and intends to seek reparation must follow those laws. In order to be forgiven by God for the offenses you commit, you must follow the principles and guidelines established by God to obtain forgiveness for your sins. Otherwise, you may spend your entire life thinking, "I have already confessed my offenses and asked God for forgiveness for that sin. So it has been resolved," only to be surprised and condemned in the afterlife for a sin you thought had been erased simply because you failed to follow the guidelines established by God for the removal of that sin. These are difficult times, the end times, the words of the prophets are being fulfilled.

These are evil times when God's election is taking place. Few will be chosen and many will be disqualified. Ignorance will not be an excuse on the great and terrible day of judgment. Therefore, you must understand that each sin has guidelines and principles that you must follow in order to obtain forgiveness from the Lord. I insist that all sins are not forgiven in the same way. Be careful with complacency and recklessness because our eternity is on the line if we fail to follow the guidelines established by the Lord.

There are sins that are against God and there are sins that are against our neighbor. When we offend our neighbor, we cannot go to the Lord for forgiveness simply because we have offended our neighbor. We must go to the person we had offended and ask for forgiveness. Then we can invoke the blood of the lamb to purify us. When we borrow money from our neighbor, we must repay our debt. Otherwise, we are exposed to judgment.

You cannot refuse to pay your debt to your neighbor and then ask God to forgive you that offense. It makes no sense for the Lord to forgive the debt that you have contracted. You must repay it and make restitution. Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. As he began the settlement, a debtor was brought to him who owed 10,000 talents. Since the man was unable to pay, the master ordered that he be sold along with his wife, children, and everything he owned to pay the debt.
