Reminder

From Rich Carroll:

"Scripture recognizes, as the Accuser does also, that nothing so impedes your access to God as a guilty conscience.  You can’t draw near boldly unless your heart is sprinkled from an evil conscience.  Therefore, if you want to overcome Satan at this point, don’t just talk to him about the blood of Christ.  Instead, accept that the fact that the blood of Christ completely satisfies God about you.  Remind yourself that God welcomes you into his presence not on the grounds of your Christian progress, the depth of your knowledge, nor even the degree of victory that you have found, but on the ground of the blood of the Lamb.  The discovery of this glorious secret has enabled saints down through the ages to overcome the accuser.  They did not remind him of the blood of Christ.  They reminded themselves.  They refused to wilt before his accusations and were, therefore, able to enjoy free access to the throne of grace, and full liberty in their service.  They believed that God fully accepted them."       - Author Unknown
