1st Peter 3:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.
If we are not very careful, persons could be infused with the same spirit that is now driving what we are seeing, and righteous indignation could quickly turn into unrighteous indignation. These are the days that God’s prophets have spoken of, and we are treading on shaky ground, the likes of which we have never seen. And yet, for all of this we are just looking at the tip of the iceberg because the Bible predicts that there’ll come a time when a very rapid deterioration of our society would take place globally.
And therefore, the Christian must be girded with the panoply of heaven at all times. We are undoubtedly in a spiritual war, and therefore carnal weapons will not cut it at this time, because carnal weapons only produce carnal results. For this reason, God has given us principles and laws ways, and means to counter those employed by the prince of darkness, so that a clear line of distinction could be made manifest, as to who is representing who.
In other words, if we’re to represent Christ, as lights in the world, shining amidst the moral darkness, we would have to employ the currencies of heaven, and violence and retaliation, vitriolic words and revenge are not currencies of Christ’s kingdom. It does not matter if it may seem to be justified, for the Great God of heaven has declared “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay”
1st Peter 3: 9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that you are thereunto called, that you should inherit a blessing.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
