How to Answer Your Critics

 (ID: gs1213)

For those who seek to serve God, unjust criticism is unavoidable—and the resulting emotional pain can affect us more deeply than physical suffering. How are believers to face this kind of opposition? As Josh Moody reminds us, the answer lies in theology and in applying the biblical truths that we believe. Because Jesus’ redemptive work on our behalf is finished and secure, and because He intercedes for us with the Father, His love keeps us safe from condemnation and frees us to serve Him with joy.

God's Everlasting Love

31What then shall we say to these things? pIf God is for us, who can be9 against us? 32qHe who did not spare his own Son but rgave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? sIt is God who justifies. 34tWho is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—uwho is at the right hand of God, vwho indeed is interceding for us.10
