1) The document discusses the topic of debt from both biblical and modern perspectives. It provides biblical examples of the Israelites borrowing goods from Egyptians and David's mighty men gathering when in debt or distress. 2) It discusses how debt limits life's options and freedom by transferring wealth and rights to the creditor. When debt is purchased by a debt buyer, the buyer can pursue collection of the debt. 3) The document asserts that Jesus provided the ultimate solution to debt and its burdens through his life, death and resurrection. His sacrifice allows people to be released from the bondage of sin and debt.

debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him;)

land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.

Q: What is debt buying?
A: Debt buying occurs when a company purchases debts from a creditor, such as a credit card company, for a
fraction of the face value of the debt. It is common for certain creditors, particularly credit card issuers, to sell
defaulted accounts on which they have been unable to collect.
Q: What happens when a debt buyer buys my debt?
A: If a debt buyer purchases your debt from a company (e.g. your credit card company), you must still pay off the
debt even though it’s no longer owed to the original creditor.
When a debt buyer buys debt from your creditor, the creditor removes that debt from its books. However, you now

2. owe money to the debt buyer, and the debt buyer can bring an action against you to get that money. It may also use
another collection agency to collect the debt or resell your debt to another debt buyer.
Psalm 106:10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and
redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
Romans 7
Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath
dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he
liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an
adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no
adulteress, though she be married to another man.
4
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye
should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should
bring forth fruit unto God.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our
members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6
But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we
should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. (Mat. 5:40-48)
Matthew 11:27-30
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the
Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son
will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall
find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Santa Clause plagiarized from here)
How is a burden light? If I could give you anything you wanted right now, and told you the
only catch is you had to put it all in a bag and walk home, you would have a burden but the
delight of owning your hearts desires would outweigh the struggle of carrying the burden.
(Heb. 12:2)
