Romans 8:33 “Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.”
One of the names that the Bible uses for the devil is the “accuser”, and may I say that he is really good at what he does. No one is better at accusing than him, and it’s one of his favorite plans of action against the people of God. There is one very important thing that we need to understand concerning the accuser. He no longer has an audience with God. Do you remember back in the book of Job when Satan came before God to in order to attack Job? Satan was full of accusations against Job’s sincerity and loyalty to God, but he was wrong about Job, and God blessed Job with a double portion in the end. The question now comes to mind……..does the devil still go before God to accuse me? The answer is no! The accuser has been cast out, and not only that, Jesus Christ is now seated at the right hand of God as our Mediator! Satan is no longer allowed to speak against us before the throne. So what does the accuser do? Does he still accuse? Of course he does, but in a different way. He speaks into your ear, and he speaks into mine……with a goal of heaping condemnation on our heads so that we might sit on the sidelines. How do we overcome the master of condemnation and accusations? We trust in God’s Word that says “it is God that justifies”! Amen.
