Therefore let us arm our hearts with these and similar statements of Scripture so that, when the devil accuses us by saying: You are a sinner; therefore you are damned, we can reply: The very fact that you say I am a sinner makes me want to be just and saved.

Just... wow....

That's right. We can come back to the enemy with, *I am not damned, you are. I know salvation. You can NEVER know salvation and you cannot rob me of it either.*

That also brought to mind who the accuser really is. Always trying to get us to doubt our salvation. Telling us we really aren’t good enough and it’s our “works” that will either get us in or keep us out. Those who would attempt to tell us that we cannot know that we are saved need to take heed. Who are they really working for?

Revelation 12:10 - Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.

Awhile back I heard a preacher saying, when satan 'tries' to condemn him, he reminds him where he is going for It Is Written. After all, he hates The Word. satan's comfort zone is in man made teaching/churches, his own creation headed by those he deceived.
