Free From Accusations

Tuesday, May 17 Free From Accusations And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 1 John 2:1b Recommended Reading Job 1:8-9; 2:3-6 At this very minute, accusations are flying around all over the world: in a court of law, in a political body, perhaps in a living room. Accusations carry tremendous weight according to the stature of the person making them. There is another place where accusations never stop flowing--in the throne room of heaven. Revelation 12:10 calls Satan the "accuser of [the] brethren"--he accuses Christians "before our God day and night." Given the stature of the Accuser, the accusations against us as sinners, unworthy of forgiveness and grace, must be taken seriously. And they are true: We are sinners. But because we have put on "Jesus Christ the righteous" (1 John 2:1), our Advocate enters as evidence the facts: He paid for our sins and we have been credited with His righteousness. That is what putting on the "breastplate of [Christ's] righteousness" (Ephesians 6:14b) means--that we are defended from the accusations of Satan about our sin. When Satan tries to convince you of your unworthiness before God, agree with him--then show him the breastplate of Christ's righteousness you are wearing. When God declares a man righteous he instantly sets about to make him righteous. A. W. Tozer Read-Thru-the-Bible Nehemiah 7:1-8:18

A Threshing Floor

A Threshing Floor In the ancient world, farmers used threshing floors to separate grain from its inedible husk (chaff) by beating it with a flail or walking animals on it—sometimes while towing a threshing sledge. Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
