“Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died- more than that, who was raised- who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us” (Romans 8:34).

Christ’s advocacy and intercession for us nullify Satan’s accusations against us.

This is also true of our deliverance from Satan’s temptations.

Christ’s propitiating work to deliver us from God’s wrath is not only the foundation of our deliverance from Satan’s accusations but also from his temptations. Many Christians fail to see this.

That is why the gospel (the news of Christ’s wrath-enduring, guilt-removing death and resurrection) is so often associated with starting the Christian life but not living the Christian life.
