No Revenge for Evil Done
Sunday, December 25, 2011
References: Romans 12
Believer's lives are to be characterized by God's character in all matters of life and the most menial and practical areas of life. In this section Paul addresses the responsibility believers have to people who are not in the family of God, and in particular, cause difficulty and trouble. There is appropriate behavior and responses God expects from believers in their contact and relationships with unbelievers. Even in situations where there is harsh and unfair treatment there is no warrant for retaliation in kind or seeking vengeance. God knows and has the matter in hand, controlling the extent of the circumstances and consequences, and He will bring their actions under His judgment.

Past, Present and Future Grace CD
The grace of God, past, present, and future is the believer's blessed hope. The grace of God has appeared in the person and work of Jesus Christ. That grace in the past provided salvation of sinners who will come to God by faith alone, in Christ alone. The grace of God for the present, "now age" teaches and enables saved sinners to live consistent with their new character. Being so taught the believer lives a life of worship and obedience anticipating the future grace of God to reappear in the person of Jesus Christ. When He does, He will complete the transformation of believer's lives into perfect conformity with His character. The world may be falling apart but our great God and Savior is coming again. With that great hope we, who have been saved by the grace of His first appearing, endure, persevere, and rejoice, as we await His glorious return.
