What does the Bible say about anger and forgiveness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that harboring anger can lead to judgment, and forgiveness is essential for reconciliation with God.

In Matthew 5:21-26, Jesus expands on the commandment 'Thou shalt not kill' by warning that anger against a brother is subject to judgment, equating such feelings with deeper sin. He emphasizes that reconciliation should take precedence, instructing followers to resolve conflicts before presenting their offerings. Therefore, one’s relationship with others impacts their relationship with God. Unresolved anger can hinder our spiritual communion and access to God's grace.
