Vengeance or Love?

Mar11

You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord.
Leviticus 19:18 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/lev.19.18.NASB1995

There are some versions of the Bible that translate “sons of your people” as members of our community. How does that fit into our loving our neighbor as ourselves?

Should not our countenance be as our Lord’s? How much cruel treatment and rudicule did Jesus experience for the sake of us? Why did He not take vengeance? Could it be that His love for the Father and all mankind gave us a glimpse at a different point of view? Wrath will eventually come, but in the meantime how many can we show the way to the true life?

Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
Romans 12:19 NASB1995

🌹So, let us love our neighbor as ourselves.

Overcomer By God

Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
Romans 12:19 NASB1995

God’s word is truth. He is teaching me so much through the preaching at church and these verses about how to address those who hurt you. It comes down, not to the other person, but my reaction to the other person. It really comes down to pride. “How dare they say or do that to me,” when I need to give it to God to handle. That is where our peace subsides. In Jesus, the perfector of our soul.

The Lord your God is in your midst, A victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.
Zephaniah 3:17 NASB1995

Pay Backs, Vengeance and Burning Coals

Mar10

Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. Never take your own revenge, beloved, but  leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. “But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. — Romans 12:17-21

Are you an overcomer?

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? — 1 John 5:4-5

Continually seeking Him,
