Anger

John 2:15,
"And when he had made a scourge of small
cords, he drove them all out of the temple,
and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured
out the changers' money, and overthrew
the tables."

JOHN 2:12-14

Jesus brought the message of "love your
enemies" to the world and demonstrated it in
such a way that some people have forgotten
instances like this when Jesus showed anger.

Anger can also be a godly emotion.
Ephesians 4:26, tells us to "be angry and sin
not".
This means there is a righteous type of anger
which is not sin.
This is why we are told to hate evil
(Psalm 45:7; 119:104, 163; Proverbs 8:13;
Romans 12:9).

Ephesians 4:26, goes on to say, "Let not the
sun go down upon your wrath".
That doesn't mean that it's alright to be
angry during the day as long as we repent
by night.
It is speaking of this righteous type of anger.

We are never to let it rest.
Don't ever put it to bed, but keep yourself
stirred up against the things of the devil.

The key to distinguishing between a
righteous anger and a carnal anger is to
discern our motives and the object of our
anger.

Godly anger is directed at the devil with no
consideration of self.
If we are angry with people, it's carnal
(Ephesians 6:12).

And if our motivation is self-serving, then
it's wrong!
