God of Vengeance - Show Notes

Why does a loving God show wrath?

Ezekiel 25:17 ESV
1. How does injustice make you feel? What do you default to? Do you hate? Do you want the maximum penalty? Have you ever said or heard someone say “I hope they rot in hell!”?
2. Is it possible that your view of God’s vengeance is tainted by yours?

James 1:20 ESV
Romans 12:17-20 ESV

“The vengeance of God is to help aid man, and point man back to the Father, not to destroy.” - from podcast

Romans 1:18 ESV

3. Have you ever known someone, maybe a friend, who was a bad influence on everyone? How did their influence affect the lives of the people around them?
4. Can you see how our current culture influences people into deceived and harmful lifestyles?

John 8:32 NIV
Galatians 5:1 NIV

Even in God’s wrath, He restrains Himself

Genesis 18:22-33 ESV
Moses Intercedes for Israel - Exodus 32

Romans 1:24-25 ESV
Psalm 103:8-10 NIV 

5. How does God’s restraint help you to view His actions of vengeance?

God’s greatest wrath was poured out on Himself, on His own son

Romans 3:21-22 NLT

6. In what ways does the sacrifice of Jesus, the fact that He took God’s wrath so we didn’t have to, impact your view of God?

Additional verses:
1 Thessalonians 5:9 ESV
Romans 5:6-11 ESV

Challenge: We all have people we struggle with. This week your challenge is to carry out Romans 12:17-20. Pray for them. Do something for them. Overcome evil with good.
