Vengeance Is Mine' Is Different Than What You Think

What does it really mean when we quote "vengeance is mine, I will repay"? In this episode of Back to the Bible Daily, host Braden Pedersen explores Romans 12 to uncover how this verse is often misused and what it actually teaches us about justice, forgiveness, and freedom from bitterness. In this episode, you'll discover why letting go of vengeance is an act of strength, not weakness. You'll learn how God frees us from the exhausting burden of trying to get even and how we can overcome evil with good. Read Romans 12:17-21 and notice the commands surrounding the promise of God's vengeance. Reflect on how bitterness and the desire for revenge have affected your own peace and well-being. Respond by releasing one offense to God today and choosing to overcome evil with good in that situation. Reveal this truth to someone carrying the weight of unforgiveness by sharing how God's justice brings freedom.
