Bible Questions Answered: Anger

Bible Questions Answered:

Gordon/ Adelaide,South Australia

Bible Answers:

Romans 12:19 KJV
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Romans 12:19 NLT
Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say,“I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord.

Ephesians 4:26 KJV
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

Ephesians 4:26 NLT
And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry,


As Romans 12:19 so plainly states, as Christians people, we are “not,” to be our own “avengers,” this is work of God, and God is holy.

Psalm 145:17 KJV
The LORD is righteous in all His ways, and holy in all his works. His anger is “not,” sinful, but righteous.

Regarding Christians:

Ephesians 4:26, there is such a thing as “righteous anger.”
We see crimes of all kinds against the innocent whether it be individuals or countries, and there arises in the heart of Christian people, anger.
And yet, we are not to avenge ourselves or “...give place to the devil. (Ephesians 4:27 KJV).

When injustices upset us, may Godly desire to make things right through the power of God, consume us.

Anger is a fire if fed, grows and eventually consumes all.
The Apostle Paul, warns us “Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: (Ephesians 4:26 KJV).

Oh, that men everywhere, would obey this Godly principle.
Be it leaders of countries or individuals, never letting the sun go down on our wrath.
Oh, the marriages, and friendships that would be saved.

Psalm 37:8 KJV
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

Proverbs 16:32 KJV
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

James 1:19,20 KJV
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

Psalm 19:14 KJV
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my Strength, and my Redeemer.
