DOES NOT ACCUSE US

 DOES NOT ACCUSE US

Ps. 103:9-10 He will not constantly accuse us, nor remain angry forever. He has not punished us for all our sins, nor does he deal with us as we deserve. NLT

These verses should cause us to swell up in praise today. The Good News is that God does not constantly accuse the redeemed of sin. He withholds His wrath from those whose sins have been forgiven. He does not deal with us as we deserve to be dealt with.

If you are constantly being harassed about sins that you have done and know that you have sought and accepted Christ’s forgiveness, guess what—Satan is your accuser, not God. God does not constantly accuse us. He will confront us with legitimate sin in our lives, but he will not rehash forgiven sins; they are gone forever from before Him.

God's anger against those who live in sin is legit. We all deserve to be punished for our sins. Sin is hated by God. It is the exact opposite of His holiness. He will never tolerate sin in His presence. At Calvary, Jesus defused God's anger against those who accept Him as their Savior. Jesus makes holy the unholy. He purifies the soul so that God's holy love can enter in instead of His wrath.

We don’t deserve to be treated so kindly by the Lord, but we are. He loves us and will never fail to treat us with anything less than holy love. For all who know Christ as Savior there is no condemnation for forgiven sin. When we sin the Holy Spirit convicts us so that we will confess our sin and seek Christ's forgiveness. The wrath of God cannot reach those whom Christ has forgiven.

To be on the receiving end of God's wrath should cause every soul to tremble. We must not ever take sin lightly. Eternity is at stake. We don't have to get what we deserve from God. Are your sins forgiven?
