Accusations

accusations - How can I protect myself against Satan’s accusations?

Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.

Romans 8:33-34

It has come at last—salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth—the one who accuses them before our God day and night.

Revelation 12:10

The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the LORD God had made. One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?”

Genesis 3:1

SATAN’S ACCUSATIONS are often subtle. He doesn’t try to persuade us that God isn’t real but rather that we are unworthy to be in relationship with him. Sometimes Satan’s voice tells us we are unlovable, undesirable, or simply undeserving of God’s forgiveness. Yet the good news is that because of Jesus’ life and death, God chooses to shower his love and mercy upon us anyway. We are protected from Satan’s accusations when we know the difference between his lies and God’s truth. God’s voice is always kind, patient, gracious, and loving. So whenever you feel condemnation, remind yourself that Christ loves you, has died for you, and will ultimately defeat the accuser once and for all.
