GOSPEL NUGGET #524

 “...the atonement money..." Ex 30:16

God is teaching Israel here that sin is also a spiritual debt in the reckoning of God. And our sins (our debts) must be paid for.

Applying the principle to ourselves, we are all sinners before God, we are all debtors. Each of us is responsible to pay the debt. But the price is too costly and infinite to pay and we are spiritually bankrupt. But God provided us an atonement money in the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.

If we want to pay out debts, we must appropriate for ourselves the Lord Jesus Christ and His work on the cross by faith, then and only then can we pay our debts before God.

There is no other "atonement money" that can pay our debts before God. We only have Christ. Come to Him now in faith and have your debts all paid for.
