       Let us go ahead and define each of these sins in our second list here, just like we did previously, and try to gain a better understanding of them. Number one: Anger. Jesus has defined anger for us. Matthew 5:22 states, “But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother without cause will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire” (ESV). And, remember, Paul instructed, “Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil” (Ephesians 4:26-, 27, ESV). It’s not a sin to be initially angry about something, but it seems to become a sin if that anger lingers. Number two: Wrath. So, wrath is something that is reserved for God. It’s not something that we are supposed to be practicing as part of our character. Wrath implies that we are certainly right, better than others, and that others therefore deserve our severe condemnation.
