What does the Bible say about God’s revenge?
When someone deeply wounds you, it’s tempting to hurt them back. You rehearse the injustice in your mind, planning what you should’ve said or imagining how they’ll finally get what’s coming. But when God steps into that pain, he says something very different: “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’” (Romans 12:19).
