How do we know that anger without cause is wrong according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

According to Matthew 5:22, anger without cause endangers a person’s soul, equating it to murder in God's eyes.

In Matthew 5:22, Jesus explicitly states that being angry with a brother without cause puts one in danger of judgment. This teaching reveals that God examines not just our actions but our hearts and motivations, identifying the sinful nature of harboring anger. The Reformed perspective understands this to mean that our attitudes towards others matter to God, and unaddressed anger can lead to serious spiritual consequences. This notion aligns with the principle that true obedience includes feelings and intentions, not merely the absence of outward sin. Therefore, believers are urged to seek reconciliation and purity of heart to align with God's will.
