"Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice"
- Ephesians 4:31
You will become angry it's your actions that will be judged.
Be ye angry and sin not let not the sun go down upon wrath.
You might be scratching your head. Why? Because you always heard dont get angry or dont let no one see you get angry.
This text says you will get angry or the text may be giving a command but what is it directing to. During your walk in Christ you may be more mature than others or another brother or sister may frustrate you.
The old way you would probably lash out or speak gossip about this person or may use the word of God to tear the person down instead of using the word to encourage them and love them.
Ephesians 4 talks about speaking the truth in love.
Sometimes brothers and sister will do things to conflict with the body of christ and it may anger you but continue to pray and continue to extend your love with Gods word. We should all remember that one day we were all lost. Not one person is better than the other even the 12 disciples asked God who was better (Luke 9:46)
We are all the body of Christ and we all have gifts that God blessed us with and some may be stronger than others but as a body we work together and sometimes one part may not be as strong as the other do we treat that part of the body different from the other. We strengthen that part of the body. We must do the same in christ with our fellow brothers and sisters
STRENGTHEN WITH PRAYER AND ENCOURAGEMENT AND UPLIFTING.
Yes we may get angry but dont allow that anger to cause us to sin something's are approachable with others and sometimes situation are not. Prayer is important and God will resolve everything if it's not an approachable situation. If you can approach the person do it with love and let this be done before the sun sets. I myself get angry with things but as I grow closer to God those things that made me angry I react differently giving myself time to Reflect and get myself together those are the things that I ask God to continue to help me with. Then there are things that God totally rid of in my life. Wow that does not anger me no more that's the growth towars the perfection that we as Christians are walking to.
We must work together in uplifting the body of Christ.
