"If anyone returns evil for good, evil will not depart from his house." (Proverbs 17:13)
Skeptics and atheists often accuse God of being vindictive. They don't believe He exists, but they accuse Him of committing all sorts of atrocities, including killing men, women and children in a worldwide flood they don't believe happened.
While we have little idea of when and how God sends His judgments on the earth, we do know that if someone rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
It would be interesting to do a study of the house and lineage of Judas Iscariot, after he rewarded the ultimate good with evil.
While God does take vengeance on all those who are evil, and while He does sometimes judge humanity, skeptics never dare say “all of His judgments are righteous and true altogether.” But they are.
John 3:16 tells us that God sent His only son to die for the sins of mankind. In Matthew 7:21 the Bible says - Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of the father who is in heaven. None will go to heaven unless they do the will of the Father. Romans 12: 2 says for us not to be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewel of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good, and acceptable and perfect. We are to be sexually pure ( 1 Thess. 4:3-8). We are to be filled with the Holy Spirit ( Epehseians 5:17-18). We will suffer as Christians ( 1 Peter 4:19). We are to give thanks always ( 1 Thess. 5:18). Submit to the government ( 1 Peter 2:13-15) To transform your mind read the Bible, pray, ask other believers questions you may have, attend church if you can. God is working His will into the believer. He wants us to change ( 1 Corinthians 15:10; Philippians 2:12-13: Hebrews 13: 21). God wants us to be like Jesus. None of us are perfect like Jesus was, but we are to strive to be like Jesus. God wants us to do His will like
