Bible Question:
A while back before I was saved and still of the world and worldly ways,I thought I had to have everything.Well needless to say credit cards was the way.Since then I've been saved but also lost a big part of my income.My question is,and this may sound silly but,I have to file bankruptcy and will I be forgiven for this sin of spending to much for things I didn't really need? Please help me with this, cause I really have no choice. top |
Bible Answer: Hi, top; I'm glad you're saved! There is no question you have been forgiven. At the risk of sounding judgmental or presumptuous, I would urge you to consider what God's will might be when it comes to repaying debts. You must decide whether a promise cancelled or reduced by a bankruptcy court is altered in God's eyes. If God expects you to pay your debts in full, failure to do so will just be an ongoing burden of sin in your new life. But you may be sure that he will make it possible - if not comfortable - for you to manage it. You might visit www.crown.org for a Biblical view of money matters. I wish you well.
