Christian Quotes about Anger
Anger is a natural feeling. We all get angry. We get angry because we do not get what we want, or what we expect to happen does not happen. We get angry because of many reasons, big or small. Even Jesus got angry at the synagogue of Capernaum when He saw moneychangers and animal sellers inside the temple. Some people get angry very slowly, storing the feeling inside their hearts. Other people get furious and burst right away like a volcano. Either way, anger 
is a negative feeling that we all should avoid keeping.
If we are angry, we foster different feelings of aftermath and lead to sin. Keeping anger in our hearts increases our feelings of guilt, vengeance, sadness and rage. Anger controls our mind and body if we let it, and we do not even realize it right away. It unconsciously destroys us. We do not want this to happen. The Bible says “In your anger do not sin…” (Ephesians 4:26). If we get angry, we should control it, give it a proper duration and we should get angry only for the right reasons.
It is difficult to control anger. However, there are ways to help us be reminded that we should not let anger control us. Here are some nice Christian quotes and Bible verses that we can read or post in our rooms, office desks or refrigerator doors to inspire and remind us not to let anger rule us. There are also many other wise sayings and quotes that will help us to control our anger.
