VIII. MAIN BODY:

A. JESUS is not accusing us before the FATHER

"Put out of your minds the thought and do not suppose [as some of you are supposing] that I will accuse you before the Father."

If something bad happens, put in mind that it happened because: (a) consequences, (b) you violated the law of nature, and (c) it's allowed for a purpose to glorify GOD.

Luke 19:10 (Amplified Bible)

19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.

All who depend on the Law are under the curse.

Galatians 3:10 (Amplified Bible)

3:10 And all who depend on the Law [who are seeking to be justified by obedience to the Law of rituals] are under a curse and doomed to disappointment and destruction, for it is written in the Scriptures, Cursed (accursed, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment) be everyone who does not continue to abide (live and remain) by all the precepts and commands written in the Book of the Law and to practice them.

Romans 3:19-20 (Amplified Bible)

3:19 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that [the murmurs and excuses of] every mouth may be hushed and all the world may be held accountable to God.

3:20 For no person will be justified (made righteous, acquitted, and judged acceptable) in His sight by observing the works prescribed by the Law. For [the real function of] the Law is to make men recognize and be conscious of sin [not mere perception, but an acquaintance with sin which works toward repentance, faith, and holy character].

Roman catholicism have been taught this way, since Roman catholicism as a religion is a law, you have no choice, because since birth you are born a catholic, but who said you are a slave of the Law, no you're not, every person born on earth has freedom of choice, you can choose what you want to do in this life. On the other hand, relationship with the LORD JESUS CHRIST is a choice, not an emotion, you have to decide and commit yourself to the LORD every moment of your life, takes guts, takes boldness, takes courage and it takes a powerful decision maker to do it, to follow the LORD as LORD and SAVIOR.

Romans 10:5-10 (Amplified Bible)

10:5 For Moses writes that the man who [can] practice the righteousness (perfect conformity to God’s will) which is based on the Law [with all its intricate demands] shall live by it.

10:6 But the righteousness based on faith [imputed by God and bringing right relationship with Him] says, Do not say in your heart, Who will ascend into Heaven? that is, to bring Christ down;

10:7 Or who will descend into the abyss? that is, to bring Christ up from the dead [as if we could be saved by our own efforts].

10:8 But what does it say? The Word (God’s message in Christ) is near you, on your lips and in your heart; that is, the Word (the message, the basis and object) of faith which we preach,

10:9 Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
