" 1 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. 2 For the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you through Christ Jesus from the power of son that leads to death."
Romans 6:14
"14 Sin is no longer your master, for you are no longer subject to the law, which enslaves you to sin. Instead, you are free by God's grace."

This is one of the ones that speaks the loudest to me. I deal a lot with spiritual warfare, and about five years ago I went through a two year time of spiritual warfare, during which I basically walked out on God. He pursued me as always, and restored my life in Him. Since then I've constantly been battling Satan's condemnation. I know that he has no place to condemn me, but lies are supposed to sound like truth, and he is the king of lies. On the last night of the retreat they handed out slips of paper to us to write down our sins/burdens, so that we could throw them in the fire later. I didn't write down a sin, but a prayer; a prayer of truth, that in God's name the lies surrounding that time and the condemnation would end. As I prayed I definitely started crying, which, for those who know me know that that's kind of a big deal for me... especially when there are people involved. There was an instant release, and for the first time in I don't know when, Satan's condemning of that time stopped; I haven't felt it since.
God and Satan are opposites; light and darkness. If Satan is the one constantly condemning us and feeding us those lies, what does that then tell us about God?
