ROMANS 12:17-21

“Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.  Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head. ”Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

 

The Behavior of God’s children:

1- Repay no one evil for evil.

2- Do good things in the sight of all men.

3- Live peacefully with all men.

3- Do not avenge for themselves because the Lord is the one who will repay.

4- Feed their enemies if they are hungry.

5- Give their enemies a drink if they are thirsty.

 

WHY the children of God must do all of this?

FOR in doing so, they will heap coals of fire on their enemies’ heads

What does that mean?

• The EVIL ONE cannot do GOOD THINGS so when he sees good things he GET BURNED.

“Do not be overcome by evil,

 BUT OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD.”

So in order for God’s child to OVERCOME EVIL he must

• NOT REPAY EVIL WITH EVIL BUT OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD.
