Revenge Produces More Trouble

Exacting revenge never produces any good in us. Those who seek revenge are in a dark place of self destruction. Those who are the targets of revenge do not learn from that vengeance against them.

We don't gain through our revenge and the target learns nothing either.

God has the believers back and one day will take care of the justice on our behalf.

Romans 12:19 “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.”

Proverbs 6:34 “For jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when he takes revenge.”

Revenge involves jealousy that someone got away with something. I am here to tell you that no one gets away with anything. It may appear that way now, but God sees everything. We don't get away with anything and others do not either.

Isaiah 54:17 “No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.”

Second Thessalonians 1:6-8 “Since indeed God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.”
