What does the Bible say about being debtors?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers are debtors to God and to one another in love and service, reflecting the grace they have received.

In Romans 8:12, Paul states, 'Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.' This signifies a good debt owed to God, as we recognize that our salvation and freedom from sin come solely through His grace. Moreover, 2 Thessalonians 1:3 indicates that we are obligated to thank God for one another, illustrating our debt of gratitude to Him for our fellowship. Similarly, Romans 13:8 commands us to 'owe no man anything, but to love one another,' which stresses our reciprocal obligations within the body of Christ.
