God Is Not Judging You

Romans 8:3333Who shall bring a charge against Gods elect? Itis God who justifies.

Some people see God as a judge who has exactingdemands on man. When they fall short or when thingsgo wrong in their lives, they think that God is judgingthem.My friend, the truth is that if you are a believer, God

does not bring any charge against you. Instead, Hejustifies you because of the blood of His Son. In fact,Gods Word goes on to say that the One who has theright to condemn you, chose instead to die for you andis risen at the Fathers right hand to be yourrighteousness! (Romans 8:34)But what the devil tries to do is to get you to believe thatGod watches you with a critical eye and punishes youwhen you do wrong. He has deceived many sincereChristians into believing that if they have donesomething wrong, sickness or some other evil thing hasa right to come upon them and their families. And whenthese things happen, he convinces them that they are

suffering Gods judgment because of their wrongdo ings.In the meantime, these sincere Christians struggle withcondemnation because they think that they are thecause of their problems.Nothing could be further from the truth. Ever since thecross, where Jesus was judged in your place for everyone of your wrong actions, thoughts and words, God nolonger judges you, His child. You need not acceptcondemnation or evil things happening to you becauseJesus took all your punishment at the cross.So when you start to feel condemned for your actionsor when you experience negative circumstances, say,It is written: It is God who justifies me. I am completely

forgiven and made righteous before Him. I refuse toaccept any condemnation and I reject every symptomof the curse that I am seeing in my circumstances!Then, simply stand on the truth of Gods Word, andwatch Him deliver and bless you!
