How do we know that being angry is acceptable in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Righteous anger is deemed acceptable in Christianity when it is directed against sin and falsehood, reflecting God's own attitude towards ungodliness.

The concept of righteous anger in Christianity is modeled after God’s anger toward sin and ungodliness as demonstrated throughout Scripture. Christ himself exhibited anger in response to unrighteousness, as seen when He cleansed the temple and rebuked the Pharisees (Matthew 21:12). However, believers are called to channel that anger towards sin, ensuring it does not provoke sinful behavior. The challenge lies in managing anger appropriately—being quick to let it go and seeking reconciliation through Christ, who is the ultimate example of perfect righteousness.
