About this episode
Every man, woman, and child walks through this world carrying a debt they cannot pay. This debt is our sin, and it is a debt owed to the infinitely holy God who made us. Our modern world has invented a thousand ways to pretend this debt does not exist. We distract ourselves with entertainment, we numb ourselves with addictions, we justify ourselves with ideologies, and we medicate ourselves with therapies. We try to pay it off with good works, or we try to have it canceled by declaring moral bankruptcy, pretending that the categories of sin and righteousness are outdated fictions. The conscience, though seared, still whispers in the dark. The universe, governed by a moral God, still demands justice. This is why every religion on earth, apart from the one true faith, is a system of works, a frantic attempt by man to build a ladder to Heaven, to appease the gods, to pay the debt.
