How to Be Angry and Not Sin, According to the Bible

Ephesians 4:26-27 NASBS
Be ANGRY, AND yet DO NOT SIN; do not let the sun go down on your anger, [27] and do not give the devil an opportunity.

The Bible does not prohibit feeling anger, but it instructs us on managing it effectively to prevent it from overpowering us. Anger, like all emotions, serves a purpose ordained by God. It can act as a driving force, propelling us towards our objectives. It signals when our principles and limits are being crossed, prompting us to confront the issue. Anger readies our bodies for action, heightening our awareness when needed. When expressed assertively, it educates others on respecting our boundaries and viewpoints.

But here is the thing, If vented thoughtlessly, anger can hurt others and destroy relationships. If bottled up inside, it can cause us to become bitter and destroy us from within. Paul tells us to deal with our anger in a way that builds relationships rather than destroys them. If we nurse our anger, we will give the devil an opportunity to divide us.

Are you angry with someone right now? What can you do to resolve your differences? Don’t let the day end before you begin to work on mending your relationship.

Here is a silly joke to lighten the moment: Why did the angry Bible start a workout routine? To get in scripture shape and assert itself!
Blessings!
