- The Apostle Paul concludes Romans 12 with an exhortation to seek to live peaceably with all people and to trust in the day of the Lord’s vengeance, trusting Him to ultimately and finally right all wrongs. In this message, Dr. Derek Thomas concludes this conference’s overview of Romans 12 by stressing how the hope of the day of the Lord’s vengeance helps us to live faithfully in the present and empowers us to overcome evil with good.
This message is from A Living Sacrifice, our 2024 Columbus Conference: • A Living Sacrifice: 20...
I remember a few years ago I was doing some work at a barn where my horse was boarded as I agreed to do so with thae barn manager. I kept a tally of all the projects I was doing and handed it to her and she'd pay me. This went OK for some time. Then came the day when she renigged on the deal and left me hanging. To say I was angry is putting it mildly. It got to the point that it was really eating at me until one evening I went before the Lord in prayer and ceremonially pretended to tear that debt in half and throw it away. Saying it's in His hands. He will repay. Felt a lit better and went on with my life.
In the churches I'd been aquainted with growing up a vengeful God was an ungodly idea not to be tolerated. To speak or think such thoughts were shameful. We were the beautiful people in beautiful surroundings. Our enemy, the devil, dominates in these establishments. I am no longer deceived by silver tounged ministries. Thanks be to God❤. Thank you RC Sproul.
I needed this today. Thank you. 🙏
You're not alone
I need it every day. ❤
Appreciate the way this message was ministered😂 i was stressed about being wrong from within me & without. Please pray i leave vengeance to God and to overcome evil with good! Thank you Ligonier Ministries! Bless everyone in Christ. Amen
Amen🎉
This was an amazing conference, if you can attend one, it's well worth it.
My Godly wife past her vengeance off to our Lord God, that was on the first day !, I myself have struggled more days until I was woken at 3 a.m to this sermon 😮, our Lord settled my heart ❤️. Thank you Heavenly Father 🙏❤️🙏
I wake up at 3AM nearly every morning. I use 2 get upset until i realized it was Gods perfect time of day 2 get my full attention. I receive guidance that i couldnt say "I could have figured that out all by myself". I couldnt. The most fun is how 1 idea leads 2 a deeper idea bringing me closer to being in the presence of God, Coram Deo.
Amen
I so needed this after listening to 15 seconds of the state of the union
LOL, im laughing at our enemies🎉
not at the stress , i experience that same stress, but...just 4 2day i am choosing 2 rest in God's faithfulness❤.
I hear ya, brother.
I didn't know that God's justice is two sided, that there is a vengeful dimension to it and that He will recompense is quite comforting.
i believe that God knows that evil is lerking to tempt His creation daily , sometimes blatently but often times covertly, & i am free from taking action that will without a doubt damage me or others. i have treasure more valuable than gold. This promise frees us (me) to focus on the many promises of His goodness, His peace, joy, health and prosperity with confidence & i say, "Thank You Jesus for loving us, (me)".
Amen!
God must display his righteous character
Wonderful teaching sir!
❤🎉
Great sermon. Another reason for leaving vengeance to God is that he will do a better job of it than I ever could.

Revelation 18:4-7
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
God tells his people in Revelation to repay torment and sorrow on their enemies.
What is God's church doing to denounce the evil being perpetrated upon the Palestinian people?
I think you should be answering that question yourself there Gomez, instead of pointing a finger. 🫵
Bless your heart in Christ Jesus.
that "evil" is his judgment. if they do not belong to Christ, they die in their sins under the wrath of God. read the bible nancy

I don't believe it for a second! The church is complicit and will surely bear the wrath of God for not tending to his lambs!
Indeed the proverbial "stone" is mostly around the Cristian leaders neck! And the ever so GUILTY Israel leaders! You know, those whitewashed sepulchers! That generation of vipers! Those children of their father the devil! That cursed peoples who rejected, and killed their Mesiah! Ah! But they should know a thing or two about the wrath of God!
I have read and continue to read the bible! Wow of those teachers leading souls to death! Wow indeed!
