What is the significance of God being the owner of vengeance?

Answered in 1 source

God being the owner of vengeance signifies that He alone has the right to execute judgment and justice (Psalm 94:1).

The concept that vengeance belongs to God underscores His exclusive right to administer justice. This is not only a matter of divine authority but also of moral integrity. Since God created all and is intrinsically just, He is the only one who comprehends the intricacies of human sin and righteousness fully. When vengeance is described as belonging to God, it highlights that any act of retribution is enacted out of His perfect wisdom rather than human folly. The Lord Jesus Christ's role as the one granted all judgment (John 5:22) further emphasizes that justice will ultimately be served according to His will. Understanding this helps Christians rest in the assurance that God will address every injustice in His time and manner while maintaining our call to love and forgive.
