War & Politics: God’s Vengeance

How do Christians seek justice for the oppressed if they do not attempt to wield the power of the sword themselves? In this post I argue we do so by entrusting the sword to God and functioning as God's agents of peace, bearing witness to the nations of God's justice.

The Inverted Sword

Christians are not called to be agents of wrath, seeking to execute vengeance upon the wicked, but to be agents of peace, seeking rather to bring about their redemption! We don't use force to crush our enemies, we depend upon the grace of God to transform them through the cross of Christ which we carry into this world.
