Frequently Asked Questions
Is all anger a sin?
No, Ephesians 4:26 says 'In your anger do not sin,' implying one can be angry without sinning. Righteous anger (like Jesus clearing the temple) opposes sin and injustice. However, human anger that is uncontrolled, selfish, or vengeful calls for repentance.
How can I control my anger with the Bible?
Memorize verses like James 1:19 ('slow to become angry') and Proverbs 15:1 ('a gentle answer turns away wrath'). Pray for the Holy Spirit's fruit of self-control (Galatians 5:22-23) when you feel your temper rising.
