What does the Bible say about Satan's accusations against believers?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Satan accuses believers before God, but they are defended by Christ's advocacy and God's sovereign grace.

In the sermon based on Zechariah 3:1-5, it is emphasized that Satan stands to accuse God's people, much like he did with Joshua the high priest. This highlights the reality of spiritual warfare where believers face opposition while seeking to worship and serve God. However, the Lord rebukes Satan, illustrating that His chosen ones are defended by His sovereign election and grace. The rebuke is not due to an absence of sin but because believers are united with Christ, who satisfies God's justice on their behalf. Hence, when we are accused, we can take comfort in knowing that our standing before God rests on Christ's righteousness, not our own works.
