MECH
 * It is not as if it is tit for tat. We cannot repay and it would be sacreligious to attempt to. Our repayment is of a different nature.
 * We have been bought by God. Romans 5. We belong to him. We are his sons. In this way he owns us and has authority over us and we should imitate and do his will. This comes from a moral law but also from identity, purpose, and the like.
 * We have not just been saved, as a philanthropist might altruistically bring someone out of poverty and then let them run their own way, we have also been called into a purpose.
 * Most mentions of debt in the bible seem to be sin, not ongoing obligation

Verse (owing things in general too)
