The Province is writing off more than a quarter of a million dollars owed to government, as a result of unpaid taxes by a individuals and business. Finance Minister Wes Sheridan says it’s because those involved just cannot meet their financial obligations. Sheridan said, “Your heart goes out to many of them.” And that is exactly where every single one of us finds ourselves in relation to our sin debt. We are unable to pay it. Paul describes our condition as being “all under sin.” And he explains that it’s because “…there is none righteous, no not one.” But fortunately, we learn later that, “…when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son….to redeem those who were under the law.” You and I owe a sin debt to God, but He has paid the debt for us, and offers to write it off. All we need do is ask. If you’d like to do that, here is a prayer you can pray right now- “God be merciful to me, a sinner, and save me for Jesus’ sake.”
