Jesus Has Paid for Our Sins, Justified Us, and Remains Near Us at All Times ㅡ

“Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.” (Romans 4:25)

“That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” (Titus 3:7)

“He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.” (Isaiah 50:8)

As Satan accuses the people of God on account of their sins, the Lord permits him to try them to the uttermost. Their confidence in God, their faith and firmness, will be severely tested. As they review the past, their hopes sink; for in their whole lives they can see little good. They are fully conscious of their weakness and unworthiness. Satan endeavors to terrify them with the thought that their cases are hopeless, that the stain of their defilement will never be washed away. He hopes so to destroy their faith that they will yield to his temptations and turn from their allegiance to God.

The precious Saviour will send help just when we need it. The way to heaven is consecrated by His footprints. Every thorn that wounds our feet has wounded His. Every cross that we are called to bear He has borne before us. The Lord permits conflicts, to prepare the soul for peace. The time of trouble is a fearful ordeal for God’s people; but it is the time for every true believer to look up, and by faith he may see the bow of promise encircling him.

(The Great Controversy 618.3, 633.1)
