Accusation, Guilt & Shame
The voice of condemnation that declares Christ's sacrifice as insufficient for redemption, which pushes people to the law (to be justified by works).
[God] has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation.
Accusation says that there is any legitimate reason for you or others to be condemned and cut off from relationship with God or man. It nullifies the redemptive work of Christ: by preaching condemnation based on your failures, and the empty promise of justification by works, it seeks to bind people to the hamster wheel of the law, never releasing them into their destiny in Jesus. Accusation finds fault with a person and attaches their shortcoming to them permanently. It separates us from God, one another and ourselves. Guilt is the agreement with accusation, and shame is the emotional product of guilt. As long as anybody feels that God is somehow angry or upset with them, it is as if there are walls around their emotional system, protecting them from further (perceived) harm. What that move really does, though, is blocks the light of Christ from healing those wounds. Accusation can lead to bitterness, as we resent the perceived source of the accusation.
Accusation can come with Truth, which doesn't make it okay. In Gen. 3, Adam said, "The women you gave to me gave me this fruit." It's factually true, but there's a spirit of accusation there. Accusation can sound like "You're such a (control freak)!" "You never (consider others)!" Holding record of wrongs and replaying later "you always (avoid conflict)!", "If you were serious about your relationship with God, you would (read the Bible more)." "I always just speak my mind. I tell it like it IS." Accusation tears down; love builds up. Accusation focuses on the problem; grace focuses on the solution. Accusation appears to be taking you into righteousness (like an evil motivator), but it's there to bring death. It masquerades as a minister of righteousness. II Cor 11:13-15. If you fail and come to God, but you can't experience his forgiveness, either: 1) you haven't acknowledged God's total forgiveness in Jesus, or 2) an accusing spirit is at work. The result is that you simply don't feel worthy of God's glory in your life.
As you feel accused, you have two options: to wallow in your guilt and shame, or attempt to rise out of it by efforts (the law). Either way, death is all around.
