"Vengeance is mine," says God - Divorce Minister

Is it a denial wrongs happened? No.

Is it a minimization of the wrongs as if they we’re “that bad?” No.

Is it the false equivalency that “we are all sinners” afterall? No.

It is a promise from God that enables victims to let go of the real injustices they suffered.

What sort of promise?

It is an uncomfortable one for many Christians. This is a promise of a reckoning with God. The Bible does NOT say the wrongdoer gets a pass. Justice will be served.

I find this comforting. It frees me to let go of real hurts done by people who intentionally wounded me. I do not have to sink to their low-level to satisfy my God-given need for justice to be done.

Instead, I choose the higher road–see Romans 12:21–and leave room for God to rain down His righteous wrath upon them.

I can forgive in the sense that I let go of my need to enact revenge upon them. God will get them if they choose to remain in the camp of the unrepentant–see Hebrews 10:26-27.

God designed us with a sense of justice and righteousness as a reflection of His own character. He also provided a way out for us when that sense is violated. God gives us the instruction to trust Him.

He gives us a promise:

-Romans 12:19b, NLT
