Introduction: How can we be angry and not sin? Inspired by the Holy Spirit, in one of his letters to a Church, Paul reminds us today as well as then that letting anger linger is not good. In fact, it can lead to giving place to the devil. But wait a minute. Someone asked the question, wasn’t Jesus angry? True. However, Jesus never sinned. If He had committed even one sin then He could not have died for our sins. 

So how do we explain this subject about sin?

1. Unchecked Anger is BAD! (Eph 4:26,27)

“Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.”

Unchecked anger means it has gone unchecked….unresolved. Is your anger unchecked?

2. Checked Out Anger is O.K! (Eph 4:31,32)

“Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”

Checked Out anger means it’s been checked out! Thrown out! Dealt with! Nipped in bud!

Has your anger been Checked Out?

Conclusion: Why not have a “Check Up” today? See if your anger is Unchecked or Checked Out?
