We are not accustomed
to asking God for judgment because we think He will judge against us. But Jesus
has become our propitiation. The price of our sins has been paid. The Father therefore
judges that the accuser’s case is wholly without merit.
God has judged in Jesus and you are
righteous in Him. Furthermore, this righteousness manifests itself in rending
right judgment towards others, refusing to play the role of accuser. It
manifests itself in acting righteously, doing that which is right. This is
nothing less than victory in the face of sure defeat, new life after certain
death, and great joy after devastating despair.
Here we are, God is our judge. He is
our righteousness. What shall we then say
to these things? If God be for
us, who can be against us?
