Something Better Than Forgiveness

“Who shall bring

Any charge against [you]?” (Romans 8:33).

You are more than forgiven.

You are more than free.

You not only can’t be condemned

For your wrongdoings,

You can’t be accused of

Deserving punishment.

There is only one Judge—

Only One who stands able to condemn—

And that very One, Christ,

Died for you and was raised for you

And is interceding for you!

It’s unjust for two people

To pay for the same crime—

And your debts of sin have

All been paid.

Every threat, taunt, and accusation

From the enemy

Is, therefore, full of nothing,

But air,

A rattling, hollow charge

From a desperate, defeated foe.

Nobody can bring a charge

Against you, child of God,

Nobody.
