Put The Spotlight On Jesus’ Finished Work | |
The devil is not called the
“accuser of our brethren” for nothing (Revelation 12:10). When you’ve
done wrong, he will remind you of it day and night. Even when you’ve
done right, he will tell you that it wasn’t good enough.
The enemy just loves to bring up
your failures, to put a spotlight on how your behavior has disqualified
you from God’s acceptance, love and blessings. He loves to heap
condemnation upon you and give you a sense of guilt and distance from
God. He knows that the more condemnation and guilt you experience, the
more likely you are to feel alienated from God and to live life
defeated.
Beloved, the only way out of
this vicious circle of defeat is to put the spotlight on the finished
work of Jesus. Bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ at the cross. Through His
perfect obedience and death at the cross, He has taken away your
condemnation and qualified you to receive God’s acceptance, love and
blessings forevermore!
