When someone wrongs you, your first thought is usually, "how can I get back at them." We want to make people pay for their wrongdoing… we take "justice" into our own hands. That is not what God wants though. He makes it very clear in His word that we are to meet our offenders with forgiveness.
We do not have the ultimate right to judge or punish. That is up to God. It is said that no sin will go unpunished. Whether it's yours or mine, it will be taken care of; either God will take it upon himself, or punish the sinner for the wrong that he has committed. Ultimately, in the end, every sin will be accounted for at the feet of Jesus. Whether it's a sin against another person, or a sin you think you committed in secret. God know's and sees everything. You will answer for what you've done.
