Colossians 3:5-8 5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming. 7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.
Understanding Anger
Anger: a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, or hostility.
• The root of anger is what we worship.
• The fruit of anger is destruction.
Righteous Anger
Negative emotion harnessed to eradicate the sin and evil that hinder the worship of God.
• God’s Anger – Col. 3:6 & Eph. 5:6• Jesus Anger – John 2:14-17• William Wilberforce – Parliament
Unrighteous Anger
Negative emotion harnessed to eradicate anything or anyone that hinders the worship of an idol (or self).
• James 4:1-4 Getting to the root.• Matthew 5:21-26 The root is
deadly.• Genesis 4:1-8 Ignoring the root.
Gospel Hope
• The Gospel must change how you think (Romans 12:1-2).
• Meditate on God’s wrath (Romans 2:4).
How does meditating on God’s wrath kill my wrath?!?
Gospel Hope
Meditating on God’s Wrath… • Not in fearful expectation of your
condemnation or future wrath…
• But in the stunned amazement that God’s wrath has already been satisfied in Christ (Rom 2:4, 3:25, Heb. 2:17, 1 John 2:1-2, 4:10).
