Today I would like to look at Romans verse 17 to 21
17)If someone has done you wrong, do not repay him with a wrong. Try to do what everyone considers to be good.
18)Do everything possible on your part to live in peace with everybody.
19)Never take revenge, my friends, but instead let God's anger do it. For the scripture says, “I will take revenge, I will pay back, says the Lord.”
20)Instead, as the scripture says: “If your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them a drink; for by doing this you will make them burn with shame.”
21)Do not let evil defeat you; instead, conquer evil with good.
These verses teaches us about our relationship with outsiders, specifically with people who has wronged us. In short these verses teaches us that we must conquer evil with good. The instant we take revenge, then evil has conquered us. We must be kind to all people, we must live in peace with all people we must not take revenge and we must do good to our enemies. In this way we will earn honor and respect. This is a way to demonstrate in a practical way the love we receive from God. In this way we Glorify God
Have a wonderful day.
Soli Deo Gloria
