Follow along in an open King James Bible as Brother Scott Evans teaches on the meaning of the word, "Debt," found throughout God's word.
Grace and Peace!
I hope you enjoyed this episode of Brother Scott's Look in the Book, and most of all, I pray you learned from it and that it helped you dive deeper into God's word, which he places above his very name.
(Psalm 138:2 KJV) (2) I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
God gives us instruction on how to study our Bibles:
(2 Timothy 2:15 KJV) (15) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Please do not only go by what I say, but do the work and study for yourself.

Become so familiar with the truth in God's word, that when a counterfeit Bible or preacher comes along, you will immediately recognize it. That is how you fool-proof yourself.

Hi! This is brother Scott with another Truth Time, Look in the Book!
Today is part 12 in my series, “Bible Key Words and Meanings A to Z.”
We move on to the letter “D.”
The word today is:
Debt
(Romans 4:4-5 KJV)
(4) Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
(5) But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
You may believe that you have to participate somehow in your salvation. Perhaps that’s what you have heard from the pulpit, radio, a friend, or family member. That means you have self-imposed debt that you don’t even owe. Doesn’t being under grace sound much more appealing than being in debt? Please listen carefully:
(Romans 11:6 KJV)
(6) And if by grace, then is it no more of works [working off debt]: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
(Galatians 5:1-4 KJV)
(1) Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. [Bondage was covered in part 7 of this series, “Bible Key Words and Meanings A to Z.”]
(2) Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
(3) For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. (4) Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
What not being in debt spiritually looks like.
It’s grace, not debt:
(Gal 1:3-7 KJV)
(3) Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
Christ gave himself for our debt, i.e., sins.
(Gal 1:4-5 KJV)
(4) Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
(5) To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
The preaching of being in debt is another gospel that astonished our apostle Paul:
(Gal 1:6-7 KJV)
(6) I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
(7) Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Choose to free yourself from the bondage of debt!
As always, I urge you to be like the noble Bereans and search the scriptures rightly divided to see if what I am teaching is true.
So before I go, please hear me out. Life on this earth is short.
(James 4:14 KJV)
(14) Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
How many times have you asked yourself, “Where did that last 10 years go? Or 20, or 30, or 40 years, etc?
And now you have THE two most important questions in life to ponder:
Forever be with the Lord, or tribulation, judgment, and wrath?
So how can I be saved, you ask?
Please listen carefully to the word of God:
(Eph 1:12-13 KJV)
(12) That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
(13) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
And referencing Jesus Christ:
(Rom 4:25 KJV) (25) Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
And what is the gospel of your salvation?
Notice the words, “the gospel,” in verse 1 that our apostle Paul declares unto us:
(1 Co 15:1-4 KJV)
(1) Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
(2) By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
(3) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
(4) And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
(2 Co 6:2 KJV) (2) (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
We all need hope to get through this life, because it can be difficult at times for all of us.
So, look at the hope you will be able to look forward to, but only if you are saved:
(1Th 4:13-18 KJV)
(13) But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
(14) For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
(15) For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
(16) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
(17) Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
(18) Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Finally, God himself longs for each and every one of us to be saved:
(1Ti 2:4 KJV) (4) Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Please don’t delay. Today is the day of your salvation… if you so choose!
