“Do not accept the grace of God in vain. Be always open to it. For today is the acceptable time, today is the day of grace. Do not let it pass!” Are we willing to listen to the voice of Paul?
Jesus tells us not to repay the unjust by revenge. “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” is not Christian. We must rather suffer injustice and let people take advantage of us, at least, when the injustice is done against us. But other parts of the Scriptures tell us to defend others if they are wronged, like the poor, and to fight injustice through goodness and forgiveness. That is how we must break the spiral of evil.
