Vengeance belongs to God

For those who are offended against: Romans 12 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.  -kjv 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.   -niv 19 Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for His wrath. For it is written: Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay, says the Lord.   -hcsb

Post modernism

Heard from Ravi Zacharias on Janet Parshall radio program on 21 November, 2016 that there is an absence of truth, meaning and certainty in a post modernistic society.

Chosen

John 15 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.  -kjv 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.  -niv 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you. I appointed you that you should go out and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you. -hcsb Observations and comments:

1. God/Jesus has chosen us by implication from this verse. These words were spoken by Jesus to his disciples after he washed their feet and after he dismissed Judas Iscariot.

2. This verse supports the doctrine of election.
