"We are debtors..."
Text: Romans 8:12
THE CONCEPT OF INDEBTEDNESS
The apostle Paul boldly and firmly declared how he saw himself as one indebted to God.
“I am a debtor both to Greek and barbarians,
both to wise and to unwise.”
Romans 1:14
In the following text he explains just why all believers should feel the same sense of indebtedness to God.
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors not to the flesh-
not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh,
For if you live according to the flesh you will die;
but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body,
you will live.”
Romans 8:12-13
WE ARE NOT DEBTORS TO THE FLESH
This must be declared up front, bold and clear!
