On part 1 of “It’s Not Their Fault” we mentioned how the actual people are not our problem, but demonic influences within a person (Ephesians 6:12). With that being known, we are not permitted to get even with the person who wronged us (Proverbs 24:29). Our responsibility is to continue to walk in love, cast out the demonic influences within the person, and allow God to seek vengeance for us (Luke 10:19).
Although we are to remain loving to the one(s) who wronged us, God’s Word provides instructions on how to separate ourselves from the people who caused us pain. Romans 16:17 tells us to avoid those who offended us.
We can still be the nice loving Christians without being close to the people who were influenced by our enemy. I submit that we should continue to pray for them and do whatever God says regarding their lives, but to keep ourselves from being hurt again and to keep us in the right frame of mind, let’s do ourselves a favor and avoid them.
Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them who cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them.
