The Greek word translated "handwriting" referred to the handwritten certificate of debt by which a debtor acknowledged his indebtedness. All saved person owe God an unpayable debt for sending Jesus Christ as a sacrifice for our sins. A debit we can never repay. When we came for salvation from God through Jesus Christ, God wiped our certificate of indebtedness clean. We are forgiven completely.
