This letter grew out of a threefold meeting conducted at our church involving men who struggle with sexual lust. There was much open discussion and vulnerable sharing. Last night was our last meeting and everyone was encouraged to, "in the light of what Christ did on the cross, write a letter to the devil regarding your identity in Christ. Point out the devil's lies and address the truth about yourself in relation to God." This was my letter to the devil.
Dear Devil (Accuser),
I have been accused by you of all sorts of crimes and misdeeds that you tell me makes God hate me so much that he wants to have me tortured forever. You've been trying to state your case for many years now. I assume you are still standing in court as you read this letter, with the intention of convincing the judge of my guilt. I thought you may like to know that my case was thrown out of court over 2000 years ago and there is to be no re-trial; no further means of appeal. The highest court will no longer acknowledge your case as valid, and that is precisely why you will find the court room you are presently standing in to be utterly empty, apart from your presence. It seems you failed to take notice that you lost your case before it even began. When God sees me, he sees his son. Jesus has taken my guilt and shame so that the judge will not recognize the guilt in me and dismisses the case you bring before him.
