This is devotional thought number 20 in our devotional series titled, “Wisdom for the Ages.”
“Do not accuse anyone without legitimate cause, if he has not treated you wrongly.” (Proverbs 3:30, NET)
The United States of America is arguably one of the most litigious countries in the world. In some states thieves who break into your house and get injured during the ordeal (not by you or anyone in your home), may be able to file suit against the homeowner. What? I know of someone who is a notorious pro se litigant who has brought hundreds of cases against persons and entities in all strata of society, without having external representation (that’s what pro se means) and to date has won zero cases. In fact, one judge was challenged with whether the person should be banned from filing anymore suits due to the person’s track record of bogging down the courts with erroneous claims. This judge’s opinion was, that while he agreed that the person has a horrible habit and track record, it is the right of citizens to file suit, and that this person was no more an annoyance to the court than some trained attorneys. Wow! Is this where society has reached? This is the very definition of catch-22. Were the Bible seen as these and other person’s rule and guide for life, my entire first paragraph would have been null and void.
During Bible times, the court structure was similarly bogged down. However, God required that there be agreement by a principle some call second witnessing. This is familiar to most civilized societies. One witness, in this case would not have normally been enough to throw the book and anyone. This is why Jesus’ mock trials preceding His crucifixion were so insane. Even according to the law of Moses, He should not have been charged. The Bible records that nobody’s testimonies against Him agreed. Further, the law provided that false accusers were to receive the punishment they had hoped to have levied against the accused. Can you imagine how great that would be in our days? There are civil law remnants protecting personal property if bound up in a certain type of trust that have such a provision in the U.S., but not many. My point is, it is never good to be a false accuser.
Did you know that the devil, the universe’s chief accuser is going to be sentenced for all he has directly done, and that which he has falsely accused others of doing? You may be puzzled here. We have done devotionals in the past that underscore how those covered in the righteousness of Christ are seen as innocent of all sin, because Jesus never sinned. Thus, as long as we remain connected to Jesus by faith, and continue to confess and forsake sin, there will be no record of wrong recorded against our names in heaven. Therefore, with no record of sin against the forgiven and cleansed saint, the devil must also pay the penalty for his part in their former sins and the fact that he is bringing charges against God’s elect for whom Christ died (See Leviticus 16; Zechariah 3; Revelation 12).
Do not be a false accuser. False accusers are just like their father, the devil. The devil is awaiting his condemnation. Please, do yourself a favor; do not join him.
A word to the foolish is wasteful. A word to the wise is sufficient.—L. David Harris (www.LDavidHarris.com)
