When God Rejects the Accusations
Devotional
Imagine standing in a courtroom where every mistake you've ever made is being read aloud. Every harsh word, every selfish decision, every moment of weakness—all laid bare for everyone to see. This is exactly what Satan tries to do to us daily, and sometimes, his accusations contain truth. We have failed. We have sinned. We have fallen short. But here's the life-changing reality: God doesn't deny our failures—He redeems them. When Satan brought his accusations against Joshua, God didn't argue about whether they were true or false. Instead, He simply said, "The Lord rebuke you, Satan!" The accusations were rejected not because they were inaccurate, but because God is the ultimate judge, and He sits on the throne above all. Because of what Christ accomplished on the cross, no accusation can stick in heaven's courtroom. Every charge has been dismissed. Every guilty verdict has been overturned. Every sentence has been commuted. This means that all the guilt and shame we carry around—it's unnecessary baggage. You might have sinned this morning, but if you've confessed it, it's gone. You don't have to walk with your head down, shoulders slumped under the weight of condemnation. You can walk with your head up, knowing that in heaven's courtroom, you have been declared "not guilty." This isn't about pretending sin doesn't matter—it's about understanding that Christ's sacrifice matters more. The prison door of sin has been opened, and you have access out. You don't have to serve a sentence that Jesus already served for you.
Bible Verse
'Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, "Take off his filthy clothes." Then he said to Joshua, "See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you."' - Zechariah 3:3-4
Reflection Question
What accusations or feelings of guilt and shame are you still carrying that God has already rejected and forgiven through Christ's sacrifice?
Quote
The accusations have been rejected by God himself. Nobody can accuse us of anything. That means all guilt, all shame. We don't have to walk in it anymore.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You that because of Jesus, no accusation can stand against me in Your courtroom. Help me to truly believe and live in the freedom You've provided. Remove the guilt and shame I've been carrying and help me walk with the confidence of one who has been declared righteous. Amen.
