In this theologically rich response, Pastor Mike addresses a deep and often confusing question: Why are Christians commanded to love and forgive their enemies if God Himself will ultimately judge His enemies? Drawing from Matthew 5, Romans 12, and the doctrine of divine justice, Pastor Mike explains the crucial distinction between human forgiveness and divine judgment. Believers are called to release personal vengeance and extend mercy now, while entrusting justice entirely to God—who will either satisfy justice at the cross or in final judgment. This teaching clarifies common misunderstandings about forgiveness, grace, election, and God’s patience toward sinners, offering a solid biblical foundation for loving enemies without denying God’s holiness or justice.
