What does the Bible say about righteous anger?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible acknowledges the existence of righteous anger, particularly in Ephesians 4:26, urging believers to be angry but not to sin.

The scripture points to the reality of righteous anger in the life of a believer. In Ephesians 4:26, Paul instructs, 'Be ye angry, and sin not; let not the sun go down upon your wrath.' This indicates that while anger itself can be justified, it must not lead to sin. The Lord Jesus exemplified righteous indignation, especially against those who turned God's truth into lies. His anger was grounded in love for God's glory and concern for souls. Therefore, the call for Christians is to experience this righteous anger, particularly when confronted with blasphemy or falsehood, while ensuring it is directed properly and does not lead to sinful actions.
