Email from Abiding Place     Daily Bread – July 30, 2025 (The Fourth Day – Genesis 1:14-19) Romans 8:33 – Who shall lay a charge against God’s elect, which God made righteous? No One Can Lay A Charge Against God’s Elect By the authority of the blood, Satan has no right to accuse us of sin (Colossians 1:21-22; Romans 8:1). And IF we do sin, the authority of the blood provides us with the power to be cleansed from any sin we may commit (1 John 1:7,9, 2:1-2). Although God has made a way in that we should never sin again, if we do sin, we have the blood of Jesus which will cleanse us from that sin. As the Mediator and the One Who testifies of the power of redemption, Jesus forever lives to make intercession for us (Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25; 1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 8:6, 9:15, 12:24). Jesus is our Advocate with the Father, Who is faithful and just to cleanse us from all unrighteousness through the blood He has shed for us. Therefore, no one can lay any charge to God’s elect, for it is Christ Jesus Who has made us righteous through His own blood. When we stand before the highest seat of judgement, we are found faultless and blameless because of the blood. The Greek word ‘dikaioo’, translated “justified” by some translations, literally means to “make righteous”. We know He became the “sin offering” for us that we might be made the “righteousness of God” in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21). This is the question each one of us must ask ourselves: do we have the same judgment concerning ourselves and all those who have been washed in the blood of the Lamb? God, Himself, is the One Who has made everyone righteous in the blood of Jesus (Romans 3:21-26, 5:6-11, 8:1-4, 29-34; Acts 13:38-39; Titus 3:4-7). It is His judgment that through the blood of the everlasting covenant every stain of sin is removed, and the soul and spirit of man is made pure and holy (Colossians 1:21-22; Ephesians 4:24; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 13:20-21; Romans 12:1-2). The testimony of God to us is simply, “Come let us reason together: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white like wool; though they be like crimson, they will be whiter than snow” (Isaiah 1:18) Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
