FAITH: Comes by Hearing the Word of God
Romans 8:33: Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
FAITH: Comes by Studying the Word of God
Satan is identified as “the accuser” of God’s people. His accusations are valid, because they are based on the believer’s sinfulness and defilement. But Satan’s accusations will be thrown out of court, because it is God who justifies. The Judge Himself declares the accused person righteous on the basis of his faith in Jesus Christ. As a result all accusations are dismissed and no one can bring an accusation that will stand. 1
FAITH: Comes by Obeying the Word of God
Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.
Yes. There is an accuser.
Yes. There is a redeemer.
Yes. The forgiven have been redeemed and there is no accusation that stands.
Yes. That is the gospel truth.
FAITH: Comes by Experiencing the Transforming Work of God
Rejoice! For every accusation the enemy makes is thrown out in heaven.
FAITH: Comes by Praying with the Word of God
He is near who justifies Me; Who will contend with Me? Isaiah 50:8
Dear Father, thank You for justifying me before all my enemies…in Jesus Name.
