No Accusation Can Stand

‘Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for His own? No one—for God Himself has given us right standing with Himself’ Rom.8:33

‘And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen?’ Rom.8:33 [MSG]. If God be for us, no accusation can stand against us. ‘Teacher, they said to Jesus, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say? They kept demanding an answer, so He said, All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone! When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. Then Jesus said to the woman, where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you? No, Lord, she said. And Jesus said, neither do I. Go and sin no more’ John 8:4-11. In Christ Jesus, God has given us right standing with Himself and because of this no accusation against us can stand. Noteworthy in Jesus’ response is the condition of no sin. Sin takes you out of right standing with God. Who are your accusers? Since God is for you, no accusation will stand against you. In Daniel’s case, men conspired to accuse him because he proved himself capable and was preferred by the king. The Bible says, ‘but they couldn’t find anything to criticize or condemn. He was faithful, always responsible, and completely trustworthy’ Dan.6:4b. People will seek to accuse you whether you have done right or wrong. The key is to stay faithful and true to God, the One who has put you in right standing and no accusation will stick. Right standing with God is a gift. However, the choice to stay on God’s side rests with you. The accusations did not stand against Daniel because God was on his side. Since God has made you right to Himself, who dares accuse you. The accusations will definitely hurt, and perhaps like Daniel you would have to stay in the loins den for a while but God will show up for you. For Joseph, the destiny God had set before him attracted fierce accusation but it all worked out for his good. Your accusers will push you into your God appointed destiny.

Prayer: What if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us? They would have swallowed us alive… Our help is from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. [Pray Psalm 124].
