The Declaration of Independence is a famous document for many reasons. It declared the colonies independence from Great Britain. It stated basic rights and liberties for Americans. As time went by, the ideas Jeffersonâs words âall men are created equalâ grew in importance.
Romans 12:19 (DBY) not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance [belongs] to me, *I* will recompense, saith the Lord.
Conviction is known in the Bible as Godly sorrow. God's Word tells us that Godly sorrow is what leads us to repentance (Romans 2:4). Condemnation tells you, You are such a failure! Look at what you did! while conviction tells you, Come to me... and I will forgive you!
