Romans 8:33
33Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who
justifies.
|

Some people see God as a judge who has exacting demands
on man. When they fall short or when things go wrong in their lives, they
think that God is judging them.
|
|
My friend, the truth is that if you are a believer, God
does not bring any charge against you. Instead, He justifies you because of
the blood of His Son. In fact, God’s Word goes on to say that the One who
has the right to condemn you, chose instead to die for you and is risen at
the Father’s right hand to be your righteousness! (Romans 8:34)
|
|
But what the devil tries to do is to get you to believe
that God watches you with a critical eye and punishes you when you do
wrong. He has deceived many sincere Christians into believing that if they
have done something wrong, sickness or some other evil thing has a right to
come upon them and their families. And when these things happen, he
convinces them that they are suffering God’s judgment because of their
wrongdoings. In the meantime, these sincere Christians struggle with
condemnation because they think that they are the cause of their problems.
|
|
Nothing could be further from the truth. Ever since the cross,
where Jesus was judged in your place for every one of your wrong actions,
thoughts and words, God no longer judges you, His child. You need not
accept condemnation or evil things happening to you because Jesus took all
your punishment at the cross.
|
|
So when you start to feel condemned for your actions or
when you experience negative circumstances, say, “It is written: It is God
who justifies me. I am completely forgiven and made righteous before Him. I
refuse to accept any condemnation and I reject every symptom of the curse
that I am seeing in my circumstances!”
|
|
Then, simply stand on the truth (and the Grace) of God’s
Word, and watch Him deliver and bless you!
Forever In His Grace!
