False accusation is one of the most difficult pains of life a human being has to bear, partly because there is no real defense and partly because the accused cannot be certain there is no truth to the charges since no one can really know the thoughts and motives of his own heart. Only Jesus successfully experienced innocent suffering and death, in order to die for us; and He overcame by forgiving the human false accusers.
The Enemy, Satan the Accuser, is too subtle for us to maintain innocence on our own; therefore the accused appeals to the Just Judge of the universe and in this “high” court He renders the final verdict of guilt or innocence. He knows and tries the thoughts and motives of the heart and mind. Man’s only hope is to plead the blood of Jesus.
At the Cross judgment is final and eternal: the enemy, sin and guilt, is absolutely condemned while the accused person (whether rightly or wrongly) is eternally forgiven and declared righteous, saved to the uttermost. There is no just mercy without a just judgment: Sin is judged; Sinner is innocent. Thus God, the Just Judge overcomes the Enemy daily. “I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness.”
