Paying Back Evil

We are, as Christians, obligated to pay back good for evil. But until we respond to this challenge, we will not know how much we need God's help in order to forgive others. Most of us think of forgiveness as something we can do on our own. But when forgiveness is needed most, that's when it is most impossible - and when God's assistance to achieve it is most necessary. Ironically, forgiveness is needed most in the face of evil.
