Who will bring any charge against God's elect?

In my devotions yesterday, I was memorizing and meditating upon Rom 8:32-34. I was really blessed by them. Here they are:

"He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemnds? Christ Jesus, who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us." (NIV)

Paul raises the same question twice: Who will bring any charge against us? Who condemns us? Notice how he answers. The only person who has the right to condemn us is God the Father and His Son. Yet God, far from condemning us, has justified us, has declared us righteous! And His Son, far from condemning us from the throne of God, is interceding for us from the throne of God! So the implied answer is, no one condems us! Just the opposite is the case! Our judge has justified us and is praying for our well-being as we speak!

Often my flesh and the Evil One condemn me. My thoughts can go wild with self-condemning thoughts. These verses are so useful for combatting such thought patterns.
