What does the Bible say about forgiveness and vengeance?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that forgiveness comes from God's grace, and Christians should not seek revenge.

In 1 Samuel 24, we see David demonstrate grace by sparing Saul, despite having the opportunity to take vengeance. David understood that, as the Lord's anointed, Saul deserved respect, and he chose to leave vengeance in God's hands. This act highlights the importance of trusting in God's judgment rather than retaliating, illustrating how true grace operates in our lives.
