Righteous Anger and Sinful Reactions Is all anger sin? No, but some of it is. Even God Himself has righteous anger against sin, injustice, rebellion and pettiness. Anger sometimes serves a useful purpose, so it isnt necessarily always a sin. Obviously, were going to have adverse feelings, or God wouldnt have needed to provide the fruit of self-control. Just being tempted to do something is not sin. Its when you dont resist the temptation and do it anyway that it becomes sin. In the same way, its not necessarily wrong to be angry, but it can lead to very sinful actions. God sometimes allows us to feel anger so well recognize when were being mistreated. But even when we experience true injustices in our lives, we must not vent our anger in an improper way. We must guard against allowing anger to drag us into sin. Ephesians 4:26 tells us, When angry, do not sin. Your anger isnt necessarily sinful, but make sure you give it to God to prevent it from producing a sinful reaction. Prayer Starter: God, help me to deal with anger in the ways You intended without sinning. I give You control over my anger and trust You to work all things out for my good.
