Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.- Eph. 4:26
Paul shared a simple warning to those believers at Ephesus. He advised that the Christian not let the sun go down on his or her anger. In other words, don’t get so wrapped up in being angry that it consumes you for the remainder of the evening and into the next day. At some point, if we are truly faithful and holding fast to the Lord, we will not let our anger lead us into sin.
The verse speaks about being angry. It doesn’t say that you becoming angry is a sin. I t warns for you to not allow your anger to linger to the point where it leads to sin and causes damage for the Christian and those around the Christian. In essence, that isn’t the way that the Lord wants us to live. he wants us to live more abundantly by faith.
