 Jesus Defends His People Who Are Accused by Satan ㅡ

 “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

 (Romans 8:1)

As Satan accused Joshua and his people, so in all ages he accuses those who are seeking the mercy and favor of God.

 Never is one received from the family of Satan into the family of God without exciting the determined resistance of the wicked one.

 His accusations arise solely from his enmity to Christ.

 All the hatred and malignity of the archrebel is stirred as he beholds the evidence of Christ’s supremacy, and with fiendish power and cunning he works to wrest from Him the remnant of the children of men who have accepted His salvation.

 He knows that those who seek God earnestly for pardon and grace will obtain it; therefore he presents their sins before them to discourage them.

 He is constantly seeking occasion against those who are trying to obey God.

 Even their best and most acceptable services he seeks to make appear corrupt.

 By countless devices, the most subtle and the most cruel, he endeavors to secure their condemnation.

 Man cannot meet these charges himself. In his sin-stained garments, confessing his guilt, he stands before God.

 But Jesus our Advocate presents an effectual plea in behalf of all who by repentance and faith have committed the keeping of their souls to Him.

 He pleads their cause and vanquishes their accuser by the mighty arguments of Calvary.

 His perfect obedience to God’s law, even unto the death of the cross, has given Him all power in heaven and in earth, and He claims of His Father mercy and reconciliation for guilty man. 

 All that have put on the robe of Christ’s righteousness will stand before Him as chosen and faithful and true.

 Satan has no power to pluck them out of the hand of Christ.

 Not one soul that in penitence and faith has claimed His protection will Christ permit to pass under the enemy’s power.
