“…Christians may do well to remember that although we trust a sovereign God with every outcome in such times, we are still called to love the things that God loves and hate those things which God hates. This is not denying God’s sovereignty, it is the enthusiastic affirmation of that sovereignty.”
(Josh Howard – Clear Truth Media) Anger is not a sin. At least, anger isn’t necessarily a sin. Like many other things, sin can easily creep into the situation and cause anger to become a sinful passion, but anger by itself is not necessarily a sinful response. So a Christian might find a situation where they can be angry, and yet without sin. But further still, there are certain times when a Christian not only can be angry, they should be angry. Sometimes when a Christian lacks anger, that lack of anger can itself be a sinful response.
Some Angers to Run From
Having made the claim that anger is sometimes not only permissible but necessary, a few words of caution and warning are likely in order. Christians should probably be best known for their love and not for their anger, after all. Christians recognize that there are a great many things we should not be angry about, and Scripture accordingly warns us against such anger in a great many places. Ephesians 4 is a well-known passage that speaks about anger and it includes several warnings for Christians concerning anger, bitterness, and wrath. These are things that the Christian should “put away” and not take part in.
