Anger is one of the emotions humans display. It is part of being human. We know that when Jesus walked the earth, He became angry too. Because we also know that He was God’s Son, we know His anger was righteous anger.
Furthermore, the Bible teaches us that we can be angry but that we should not sin in our anger. We should also pray for one another, as the word of the Lord tells us.
If we have sinned against others, especially in our anger, we should ask for forgiveness but also forgive others who are angry at us.
Remember what His Word says in Matthew 6:14-15, “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”

Final Thoughts
For many, anger is not an easy matter to deal with. Many would use Jesus’ anger as an excuse to be angry. It is important, though, to make the difference between righteous anger and sinful anger.
Even if we are humans and are allowed to be angry. As Ephesians 4:26 says, “In your anger do not sin.” More importantly, it says, “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath.”
It means that, even if we do become angry, we should always ask for forgiveness and forgive others as well.
Furthermore, verse 27 says, “Neither give place to the devil.” When we get angry, we should immediately check in with the Lord so that the devil cannot get a foothold in our lives. This is one of the most important things you can do for you and those you pray for.
