Romans 4:4 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.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Grace -vs- Debt in verse #4...
Suppose that you worked at a factory 5 days a week, you worked 8 hours a day. You poured blood, sweat and tears into that job. Now it's payday, the company in which you worked for is in DEBT to you.
We realize that this is not the way salvation works. When we work for God it should be because we are in debt to Him, not because He is in debt to us. If we believe that is counted unto us for righteousness, but when we work for righteousness we have the only reward that we will ever have.

We are in debt to God!!!
