Bible Texts:
Here is
what our Lord says...
Romans 12:14-21 KJV
14
Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15
Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16
Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but
condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the
sight of all men.
18
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all
men.
19
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place
unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith
The Lord.
20
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him
drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Our
Lord tells us that vengeance, is His, alone, “Vengeance
is Mine; I will repay, saith The Lord.”
If we
take revenge upon another, we become apart of the evil system, that
was perpetrated upon us.
No
doubt the tempter whispers to many, “you have every right to get
even!” But retaliation is “not,” the call of God's child,
rather we are told by The Lord...
20
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him
drink...
21
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
When we
repay good for evil, our Lord tells us....
for
in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
What
does that mean? It certainly must mean, that by doing so, a feeling
of guilt or shame will come upon the individual. Hopefully, a
conviction that may lead one to repentance, and The Lord.
Vengeance:
Psalm 145:8 KJV
The
Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great
mercy.
Proverbs 25:26 NLT
If
the Godly give in to the wicked, it’s like polluting a fountain or
muddying a spring.
Matthew 3:8 NLT
Prove
by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to
God.
Matthew 5:38,39 KJV
38
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth
for a tooth:
39
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Luke 10:27 KJV
And
He answering said, Thou shalt love The Lord Thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all
thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.
John 14:15 KJV
If
ye love Me, keep My commandments.
Galatians 3:27 KJV
For
as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Ephesians 4:26,27 KJV
26
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27
Neither give place to the devil.
I Thessalonians 5:15 KJV
See
that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that
which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
Hebrews 10:30 KJV
For
we know Him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto Me, I will
recompense, saith The Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge His
people.
Revelation 6:9,10 KJV
9
And when He had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the
souls of them that were slain for The Word Of God, and for the
testimony which they held:
10
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long,
O
Lord, Holy And True, dost thou not Judge and avenge our blood on them
that dwell on the earth?
Prayer:
Nehemiah 9:17 KJV
"...but thou art a God ready to
pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great
kindness..."
Psalm 86:5 KJV
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready
to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
Psalm 130:7 KJV
"...hope in The Lord: for with
The Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption.
Isaiah 1:18 KJV
Come now, and let us reason
together, saith The Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall
be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be
as wool.
