Wednesday, March 5, 2025 Romans 12:14, 17-21 “Responding To Persecutors, Part 2”

God explains in vs. 14, 17-21 how “presenting our bodies as living sacrifices” should affect how we respond to the evil done to us by other people. First, we are called to bless, not curse, such people. Second, we are forbidden to return evil for evil, but rather are called to respond in an honorable fashion. Third, we are called to not foster or create contention and conflict. Fourth, we are called to resist the temptation to respond to hurt with retaliation and vengeance.
