Devotion for Today: Forgive Our Debts

                                    Forgive Our Debts
 
This, then, is how you should pray… Forgive us our debts.
– Matthew 6:9,12
 
We used to sing a chorus some years ago that went like this, “I owed a debt I could not pay and he paid a debt he did not owe.” That is the case for all of us who have come to faith in Christ.

I like the way Luke recorded this part of the prayer. He writes, “Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us” (Luke 11:4). He clarifies the point that the debt for which we are asking forgiveness is our sins and the debts we forgive are the sins, or offences, others have committed against us.

Most of us have never robbed or caused great bodily harm to come to another, but we have all sinned. Sin is a part of the human condition and God has made a way for us to deal with our sinfulness through faith in Christ.

The following is excerpted from “The Lord’s Prayer Directive,” an examination of this prayer:
 “Forgive us our debts...”We have sinned, and if we say we haven’t we are lying. Before you become upset with me for saying that, take note; it wasn’t me who said it. 1 John 1:8 says that very thing. But verse 9 of that same chapter ys, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
 
God has made provision in Jesus Christ to forgive all our sins, but we have to ask him. In fact, every day when we pray through this prayer we should spend some time thinking through the previous  day and ask God to bring to our mind anything we did, or thought about doing that we need to be cleansed of.

 
Then we should ask God to forgive us of those things. And he      will because, “He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins.”
 
Prayer: I know I have sinned, and I need your forgiveness. Grant me repentance for all my sins and wash me clean of every wrong desire. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
