What it means

An obligation that must be fulfilled; a moral obligation.

Bondage or servitude; sin.

The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

✦ When it is positive

A debt of love — owe no man any thing, but to love one another
Being a debtor to all, as Paul was, in the sense of owing the gospel to others

How to tell the difference

DISTINGUISH THE KINDS OF DEBT. Financial debt in a dream speaks of bondage and lost freedom; the debt of love and the debt of the gospel are obligations rightly carried. Note who is owed and whether the debt is forgiven.
