What should Christians do when facing calumny or accusation?
Answered in 1 source
Christians should entrust their cause to God, who is the righteous judge.
When believers face calumny or unjust accusations, they are encouraged to follow the example of David in Psalm 7 by appealing to God as their righteous judge. Instead of responding in anger or seeking retribution, they can bring their concerns before the Lord, trusting that He will judge justly. This not only reflects a deep reliance on God's sovereignty but also promotes inner peace amidst external turmoil. The apostle Peter reinforces this principle, urging believers to remain faithful and not to retaliate, knowing that God will take up their cause. Christians can find assurance in Romans 8:31, proclaiming that if God is for us, who can be against us?
