Psa 119:41-42 KJV  Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.  (42)  So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

As Christians, we are certainly not perfect.  As Christians, we have certainly not attained.  But as Christians, our vindication comes from the Lord.

When the world looks at us, they may see people who are frail, miserable, weak and dependant.  They may see people who sometimes have little strength against the many influences of the world and even against their own weaknesses.  But at the end of the day, when the time comes to settle the accounts, all God sees in us is the stain of the blood of Jesus-Christ the Lamb of God on our hearts.  

Therefore trust in this Word of promise (John 1:29).  Brandish it like a flag in the face of the accusing world and of the condemning enemy, set it on your armor as a banner over you (Psa 60:4; SOS 2:4) that all may see, and proudly proclaim that no, we are not going to fall into their condemnation, nor to that of the devil (Rom 8:1).  The time of the supreme reign of sin is over with, and the era of victory over death is finished! This is a new day, when all that come to Christ shall be saved!

Pro 24:16  For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
