Fruit of the Spirit 5 – Patience
God has called and equipped Christians to walk in patience, in all areas of our lives. One aspect of patience that we will look at is being slow to anger. When we are quick to anger, the Bible says that we let down our defenses and that we look foolish. We are to walk in patience with each other as well as with the world. Peter and Paul both tell us to specifically watch how we act when we’re in front of people in the world so we won’t give them an excuse to criticize Christianity.

Putting Anger To Death
The renewal of the mind in salvation not only brings about renovation of character, but transformation from the old self to the new. This includes one's tendency toward anger. Anger can be either good (righteous) or bad (sinful), depending on motive and purpose. Anger is righteous when it is unselfish and based on love for God and others, but sinful anger is an outward expression of a deeper ailment: pride or lack of faith in God's sovereignty. However, even righteous anger can turn to bitterness and further sin if allowed to continue. Prolonged anger allows Satan a foothold to destroy relationships, and at worst may become hostile. It can even potentially damage the church. The solution to anger is to put away or put off our sinful thoughts and tendencies and put on (replace them with) the thoughts generated through God's word.
