You Can
Be Debt
Free!
FORECLOSURE

YOU ARE IN DEBT TO GOD.

The Bible asks this question, “For what shall it profit
a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his
own soul?” (Mark 8:36) You might be debt free or
even financially successful; however, the Bible
states that you are in debt to God. “As it is written,
There is none righteous, no, not one... For all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
(Romans 3:10, 23) Your debt to God must be paid.

ONLY DEATH CAN PAY YOUR DEBT.

The Bible states, “Wherefore, as by one man sin
entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death
passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”
(Romans 5:12) “For the wages of sin is death...”
(Romans 6:23a) Your payment you owe for your sin is
death. However, this death is more than just physical
death. The Bible says, “The wicked shall be turned into
hell...” (Psalm 9:17a) “And death and hell were cast
into the lake of fire. This is the second death.”
(Revelation 20:14) After you die, the payment for sin
has only just begun, and you will pay the debt of your
sin for all eternity. The Bible asks, “Who among us
shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us
shall dwell with everlasting burnings?” (Isaiah 33:14b)

SOMEONE HAS ALREADY PAID YOUR DEBT.

Friend, because of God’s great love for you, He has paid
your debt! Although it is your debt, and you are
responsible for its payment, Jesus paid it all out of His
mercy and pure love for you. Romans 5:8-9 states, “But

God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more
then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be
saved from wrath through him.” Jesus died on the
cross and shed His blood to pay your debt of sin!
The Bible says in Colossians 1:14, “In whom we have
redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness
of sins:”

Jesus Christ did not stay in the grave, but He arose
from the dead, proving He is God. His resurrection is
our guarantee that His payment is good for all eternity.
“Wherefore he is able also to save them to the
uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever
liveth to make intercession for them.” (Hebrews 7:25)

YOU MUST CLAIM THE PAYMENT FOR YOURSELF.

Jesus Christ died to pay the debt of sin for everyone;
however, not everyone has claimed the payment. Have
you? You must claim His payment for your debt by faith.
Faith is simply placing your complete trust in Christ. To
escape burning forever in the lake of fire, you must trust
Jesus Christ and the payment He made on the cross.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

The Lord Jesus Christ said, “...except ye repent, ye shall
all likewise perish.” (Luke 13:3) Are you willing to turn
away from your sin and turn to God? The decision is
yours. The payment for sin is final. Your eternity depends

upon it. John 3:36 states, “He that believeth on the
Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not
the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God
abideth on him.”

God promised you, “That if thou shalt confess
with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in
thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

If it is your desire to be saved, please pray this
prayer, or one similar to it: Dear Heavenly Father, I
know I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I
believe that Jesus died for my sin. I am willing to
turn from sin. I now ask Jesus Christ to come into
my heart and life as my personal Saviour. I am
willing, by God’s grace, to follow and obey Christ as
the Lord of my heart and life. Amen.

If you have decided to trust Jesus Christ as your Saviour
after reading this tract, please write and let us know.
