No Revenge Needed, God Will Fight For You. Series

As Christians, we are called to a higher standard. The Bible teaches us to trust in God's justice and vengeance, rather than taking matters into our own hands.

In Romans 12:19, Paul writes, "Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written: 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.'"

This verse reminds us that God is the ultimate judge and avenger. He will repay evil with justice and vindicate those who are oppressed. We can trust in His perfect justice, rather than seeking our own revenge.

In Psalm 35:1-3, David declares, "Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help. Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against those who pursue me. Say to my soul, 'I am your salvation.'"

Here, David acknowledges that God is his defender and asks Him to fight on his behalf. He trusts in God's deliverance and salvation, rather than seeking revenge against his enemies.

In 2 Thessalonians 1:6-8, Paul writes, "It is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels."

This passage assures us that God will repay those who trouble us, and that we will receive rest and vindication when Jesus returns. We can trust in God's future justice, rather than seeking revenge in the present.

As believers, it can be challenging to remain silent when we are mistreated, abused, betrayed, or hurt by others. Our natural instinct is to defend ourselves and seek revenge. However, the Bible reminds us that vengeance belongs to God, and He will repay those who have wronged us.

In Psalm 37:12-13, David writes, "The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them; but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming."

This passage assures us that God is aware of the plans of the wicked and will bring justice in His timing. We can trust in His sovereignty and rest in the knowledge that our adversaries will face His judgment.

In Romans 12:14, Paul exhorts us, "Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."

Here, we are called to respond to mistreatment with blessing and prayer, trusting that God will bring about justice and redemption.

In Isaiah 35:4, God promises, "Say to those who have an anxious heart, 'Be strong, fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.'"

This verse reminds us that God will come with vengeance to save us and bring recompense to those who have wronged us. We can trust in His promise and wait with hope for His deliverance.

When we remain silent in the face of mistreatment, abuse, betrayal, or hurt, we can trust that God will bring about justice in due time. Vengeance belongs to Him, and He will repay those who have wronged us. May we rest in His sovereignty and trust in His perfect vengeance.

Have you ever heard the phrase "what goes around comes around"? It's a common expression that suggests that the consequences of our actions will eventually catch up with us. This principle is not only a universal truth but also a biblical one. In Galatians 6:7, Paul writes, "Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.

In Genesis 2:17, God warns Adam and Eve that if they disobey His command not to eat from the forbidden tree, they will surely die. This warning sets the stage for the principle of reaping what we sow. Throughout history, humans have chosen to disobey God's commands, and the consequences have been devastating. However, God's mercy and grace are extended to us through Jesus Christ, who took the consequences of our sin upon Himself.

The principle of sowing and reaping is not limited to negative consequences. In Psalm 126:5-6, we read, "Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him." This passage reminds us that when we sow seeds of obedience, kindness, and love, we will reap a harvest of joy and blessings.

The Bible teaches us that what goes around comes around. Our choices have consequences, and we will reap what we sow. Let us seek God's guidance in our daily lives, striving to live according to His will. May we sow seeds of love, kindness, and obedience, trusting that we will reap a harvest of blessings and joy. Remember, God is not mocked; whatever we sow, that will we also reap.
