BOB
Good morning. This is Bob Peden of Central a United Methodist Community here in Meridian. The accuser appears many times in the Bible from Genesis, to Job to Revelation. Each time he appears to accuse people of not being faithful to God. He does so not to try and convince God, but rather to convince us that we have failed God, and maybe God will not be faithful and forgive us. In short, the accuser appears to create doubt and guilt in the hearts of humans.
Doubt and guilt are not gifts from God; they are the product of the work of the accuser. They serve to keep us at a distance from God. God=s gifts to us are faith and trust to counteract the doubt sown in our minds. And God gives us forgiveness to eradicate the guilt that has been placed in our hearts. Trust in God and accept the forgiveness God offers freely, then you will know the peace that can only come from God.
