Jesus Christ is Your Advocate

 Who will accuse God's chosen people? God Himself declares them not guilty. Romans 8:33


Jesus did not sin nor deserve any punishment; He accepted all the accusations on our behalf. Jesus agreed to bear our judgment when He was crucified on the cross. The punishment that was on us was placed on Him so that we who believe in Him will not be condemned again but be free.

After the apostle Paul understood the work Jesus did on the cross, he asked, "Who will accuse God's chosen people?" because no one can accuse us since God has accepted the sacrifice of Jesus Christ's life, which is His blood, as a ransom for our sins and transgressions.

Even Satan cannot accuse us before God anymore. Initially, he had that opportunity and accused many of God's chosen ones, as he did with Job. But in the book of Revelation 12:10, God's word says:

"I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, 'Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.'"

The position of the accuser of humanity before God has been removed, and now our advocate, Jesus Christ, sits in that place as our high priest and intercessor. Even if we err, He is there to defend us and not to condemn us. God's word says:

" My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2"

So, if you believe in Jesus Christ and the work He did on the cross for you, know that God has accepted you and does not condemn you. If God does not condemn you, do not let anyone condemn you, and no one can accuse you before God because Jesus Christ is there to defend you.

Curses and judgment from people have no power over you because Jesus Christ is there to defend you, and His blood speaks better things for you always. Therefore, do not be afraid. Continue to trust and depend on God always. Amen

Prayer: Thank You, Lord Jesus, for being my advocate. I commit my life into Your hands always to be safe and free. Amen

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
