God's people don't have to arm themselves because they know that God will bring them justice.
Romans 12:19-21 (ESV)
[sup]19 [/sup]Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord."
[sup]20 [/sup]To the contrary, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head."
[sup]21 [/sup]Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
When Paul was persecuting the Church what did God do? He made Paul whom was the greatest human enemy of the Church to become the greatest champion of the gospel......he labored more than all. What better way to defeat an enemy than making him part of your family? But in regards to Satan God convert Satan's instrument against Christians to one that is responsible for the spreading of the gospel to much of the gentiles. It is far better to let God deal with one’s enemy than to take matters in our own hands.
