Anger, defined as a strong feeling of displeasure and often antagonism, is a basic human emotion that can be either righteous or sinful. Ephesians 4:31 instructs that all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking should be put away, with all malice. Yet, Ephesians 4:26 advises, "Be angry, and do not sin," urging that anger should not linger unresolved. Proverbs offers wisdom on controlling wrath, such as in 15:1, "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger," and in 15:18, "A wrathful man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger allays contention." Additionally, Proverbs 29:22 warns, "An angry man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgression." Righteous anger, as exemplified by Jesus in Mark 3, is unselfish, restrained, targets sinful acts or unjust situations, seeks to remedy wrong, and contains no malice or resentment. In contrast, sinful anger is often selfish, uncontrolled, targets people, retaliates, and desires to hurt or get even. Uncontrolled anger leads to regrettable actions and words, ultimately causing sin. Overcoming sinful anger involves recognizing and admitting the problem, confessing it before God, and seeking His help and strength through His Spirit. Examining the causes, such as selfishness, perfectionism, and suspiciousness, is essential. Practicing kindness, tender-heartedness, and forgiveness, as encouraged in Ephesians 4:32, counters malice and cold-heartedness, fostering compassion and unity. Forgiveness prevents anger from settling into resentment and bitterness. James 1:19-20 summarizes the approach to anger: "Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath, for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God."
