Judgment Day

The Bible portrays Satan as one who stands before the Lord to bring accusations against God’s people (Zechariah 3:1). We certainly give him plenty of opportunities to charge us with all kinds of sins. Without the blood of Jesus Christ, we would have no defense whatsoever.

1 John 2:1-2 says, “My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense—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.”

One day each of us will have to stand before God. Judgment Day will be the ultimate trial. You will be the defendant. Satan will be the prosecutor arguing the case against you. Jesus will be the attorney defending you, and God will be the Judge. You might describe the action with these words:

I hear the accuser roar

Of sins that I have done.

I know them well, and thousands more

Jehovah findeth none.

Still the restless foe accuses,

Sins recounting like a flood.

Every charge our God refuses,

Christ has answered with his blood!
