Why is anger sometimes considered a righteous response?

Answered in 1 source

Anger can be a righteous response when it is directed against sin or injustice, as shown by Christ.

Righteous anger, as exemplified by Jesus, is not inherently sinful; it arises from a justifiable response to sin, hypocrisy, or injustice. In Mark 3, Christ's anger and grief towards the hardness of hearts reflect His deep concern for truth and righteousness. The Bible teaches that there is an anger that can be holy, which aligns with God’s character and purposes. However, believers must navigate this emotion carefully as it can easily lead to sin if not kept in control. The call to be angry and sin not serves as a reminder that even righteous anger should be tempered with love and grief for those who cause it, keeping the glory of God at the forefront.
