God Is Clear: I Will Repay

Summary - In today’s world, retaliation is glorified and personal justice is credited as righteousness. Believers in Christ are called to a higher road—one paved with trust in the sovereign justice of God. The Apostle Paul wrote through the power of the Holy Spirit a direct charge to those who follow Jesus Christ to live in a way that looks radically different from the world. These verses are not a call to passive weakness but to active surrender—to trust that the Lord sees every injustice and will repay according to His perfect will and in His perfect timing.

As ambassadors of God, we are not called to repay wrong with wrong. Instead, we are instructed to live honorably before all, resisting the flesh’s urge to strike back and instead walk by the Spirit. This posture is not rooted in cowardice but in bold confidence that God’s justice never fails. Vengeance belongs to Him alone. In this surrender, we don’t lose dignity—we gain peace, clarity, and rely on His spiritual authority.

The path of the cross is not one of silent defeat, but of victorious restraint. It is the echo of Christ’s own steps—He who, though wronged, entrusted Himself fully to the Father. Leaving retaliation in God’s hands will challenge, equip, and call Christians everywhere to live with divine discipline, knowing that God sees and will repay for the harm done to His flock. God Bless You!
