"Vindicated" -2

"Judge me, O LORD my God, according to Thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me." (Psalms 35:24) Actually this verse has a very interesting twist to it; if you connect to dots between God's grace, His mercy, our justification, and the fact that we have been vindicated, then it's all a perfect cube filled with God's perfect love. You do know that it was our sins that nailed Jesus to the cross, right? So what does it mean to be vindicated? To be vindicated means that we have been cleared from the blame and can no longer be accused of a certain matter. In this, I believe God's mercy goes far above all that we really need or deserve; yet, He chooses to forgive us this much; because it was His choosing, it was His will, and it was His perfect plan to have His Son pay the price for our sins. If we are totally honest with ourselves, then there is absolutely no way that we can be judged according to God's righteousness without His righteousness having vindicated us from being guilty, because sin includes every thought and every imagination of the heart; this is something that goes far beyond our actions or what we might say, but includes what happens in our minds and in our hearts, even though we might never do anything with it, it's still sin that is stirred up inside of us. I personally do not believe that the devil can read our minds, nor can he see inside of our hearts; but he does witness and observe our actions, and if we bring those things inside of us out, by actually doing them, then he will use that against us because we have given him something to accuse us for doing. Having put this into a seemingly very confusing statement, let me say that we do not want to give the devil anything to rejoice over, because that is what we do when we sin; nothing makes him happier than when someone that has been forgiven of their sin sins and dirties themselves by sin again; but God, who has more mercy than we can ever imagine, is willing to forgive us time and time again; and it all is according to His righteousness... "Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, as new born babes, desire the sincere milk of the Word, that ye may grow thereby: if so ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom coming, as a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 2:1-5)
