Romans 8:33, 34
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
--KJV
In the name of the One Who makes intercession for us. Amen.
This week we have been looking at what will be the basis of Judgment when we appear before Christ on the last day. We have seen that Jesus Himself does not judge, but rather His word does. Today we see that believers are not even in the judgment equation. They are above judgment. The is no one to bring a charge against us, and the very One Who would condemn us is the same One Who intercedes for us. If He intercedes for us, he will certainly not condemn us. So, we have the greatest advocate we could have, and appear before the judgment of God with no charges against us. What peace of mind this brings! We can look forward to the judgment with joy and eagerness, because it is not a trial, but a celebration. Amen.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, we are grateful that You intercede for us sinners, and will not condemn us. Help us, by the Holy Spirit, to look forward to the day of Your return with eagerness and joy. We ask this to the glory of our heavenly Father. Amen.
