God's promise to avenge His elect is assured in Scripture, illustrating His justice and faithfulness.
In Luke 18:7, Jesus poses a rhetorical question regarding the certainty of God's justice for His elect, saying, 'Shall not God avenge His own elect, which cry day and night unto Him?' This statement is supported throughout the Bible, affirming that God actively works on behalf of His chosen ones despite the apparent delay in His response. The repeated calls for justice from His people demonstrate a relationship built on trust and reliance on God's providence. Moreover, in Romans 8:28, Paul reminds us that 'all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.' This assurance illustrates that God is sovereign and will indeed fulfill His promises to justify and ultimately vindicate His elect.
