Bryan Fischer here with the Life and Liberty Minute. “Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil.” Not all anger is bad. Some things ought to make us angry. But we must not allow that anger to turn into sin by carrying our anger over, even to the next day. We do that by forgiving the person who angered us before we go to sleep. Forgiveness is a decision, not an emotion. Forgiveness is the choice to release people from their debt to us and hand them over to God for discipline. Then we must refuse to bring up past offenses to hurt somebody or score points in an argument. If we don’t forgive, then we give a place to the devil to work in our lives. But if we do choose to forgive, we’ll discover that the anger and hate will slowly dissipate as we walk out our forgiveness. And that’s the path of both life and liberty.
