What is good anger?
Righteous anger?

Right fruit
Right fruit
Every time we see good anger in the Bible
There is good fruit
Righteous anger is to solve problems
Not create problems

Not hurting people

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
“Yaskaaran chaahe timiharu khaao, chaahe pio, chaahe timiharu jemukai gara, sabai kuraa Parameswarkai mahimaakaa nimti gara.”
All should honor the Lord
Even our anger
We judge by fruit
But the fruit shows the heart
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
“Tiniharukai phalharuduaaraa timiharule tiniharulaai chinnechhaau...”
The fruit shows the source(srot, mul)
Right Source
Right Source
Good anger is born of the Holy spirit
Not the flesh
Good anger comes from care for others
Not selfishness or pride
Good anger comes because of truth
Not feelings(bhaawanaa) whim(taranga)
Emotional(bhaabuk)
Good anger needs the right fruit
but also the right seed
When our anger is born of emotion(bhaawanaa) and the flesh
It is uncontrolled(aniyantrit)
It will hurt others(dukhaaunu)
It will hurt ourselves
It will bring sin and destruction(naash)
When anger is born of truth and of the spirit
There are limitations(antaravaasan-haru)
There are boundaries(seemaa-haru)
There are fences(chhek-baar-haru)
This passage gives us one boundary right here.
It should not stay with us long
It should not remain till the next day
Our anger should not come quickly
Prov
A wrathful man stirreth up strife:
But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
“Krodhi maanchele jhagaDaa machchyaauchha; Tara jo risaaunumaa dilo chha, usle jhagaDaa shaanta paarchha.
When anger comes from the right source(srot)
In the right way(tarikaa)
Then it remains directed(sanchaalit)
Then it remains focused on the right things
Jesus didn’t continue to destroy everything he saw all day
His anger had the right source
and it was directed toward sin
Just a few verses later - many miracles(aschaarya-haru)
----------------------------------------------
Be angry -Risaao
But it should be good anger
Holy anger
From the right source
Bearing the right fruit
Anger at injustice is appropriate
This is not selfishness
Do not focus on yourself
Focus on the sin
This is anger at sin
But we also know that God can be angry.
And God does no sin!
The Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
KJV 1900The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
So what is righteous anger?
So what is righteous anger?
Anger that is not sin.
Anger that is not sin.
We don’t like to receive the anger of others
It is not fun
Does not go against the Bible
But all anger is not sin
Because God can be angry and does not sin
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
(
Sin is going against God
He cannot go against himself
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
Anger that does not go against the Bible
Anger that does not go against the Bible
Is not unkind
Not corrupt communication
Does not hinder the message and work of Christ
What does it look like? What reasons?
Righteous anger is being angry like God is angry.
Same reasons.(not of flesh)
Same manner(tarika)
Let’s look at God’s anger:God is not fundamentally(mulataah) angry. He is fundamentally(mulataah) righteous(dharmik) and holy. God’s anger comes because of his supreme righteousness(dharmikataa).Because people directly oppose him in sin.
God judgeth the righteous,
And God is angry with the wicked every day.
Our anger should not come from our flesh,
but from our love of righteousness
Because of truth,
Not emotion(bhaawanaa) or feelings
When our anger and wrath is driven by truth, example of God’s anger, does not cause sin
There is no problem
When our anger is out of control
Driven by the flesh/fear/emotion
Righteous anger is controlled(nitantran garinchha) by love
Righteous anger is slow.
It does not come easily
We do not jump into it
But when the wrath continues long, it is driving us!
It is out of controlThis is sinThis is not of GodThis allows the devil control
Neither give place to the devil.
KJV 1900Neither give place to the devil.
KJV 1900Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
We know this, but it is an important reminderMany people think that stealing is ok if they are sneaky(chhali)
This passage, like the others, shows the opposite of stealingWorking, helping, earning, and givingThis is God’s plan for usOutside of this plan, you are dangerously close to stealing
This also tells us more about stealingLaziness is a way of stealing
Gambling is a way of stealingWhen you win, someone losesYou are taking from them without giving something good in returnStealing
Corrupt communication
Corrupt communication
KJV 1900Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
