The Debt of Love

Saturday. 2 Cor. 8 :9-15.

The Jew was taxed a tenth, and made free-will offerings besides. All the Christian has belongs to God. Whatever we have is his, because we are his. It is given us in trust, to be administered conscientiously as his Spirit suggests. We are to owe no man anything. Yet we are badly in debt. It is a debt of love, due to God, payable to man. We pay it only by giving freely as the Spirit directs.
