37. Can a Christian run into debt? |
|
No, he
should not run into debt, for it is written: “Owe no one anything except to
love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law” (Romans
13:8 – NKJV), and again: “Do not be one of those who shakes hands in a pledge,
one of those who is surety for debts. If you have nothing with which to pay,
why should he take away your bed from under you?” (Proverbs 22:26-27 – NKJV). |
|
He who
runs into debt does not live a tranquil life, rather he is always anxious and
worried in his heart, and he is servant to him from whom he borrowed the
money, as it is written: “The borrower is servant to the lender” (Proverbs
22:7 – NKJV). |
