Before we answer this question, we must understand that God’s anger over sin is not the same as how we would get angry on some days. 

God is angry all the time – “at sin.” 

He is angry every hour of the day at sin because all of God’s attributes are fully operational at all times. Likewise, all His other attributes (love/mercy/grace etc.) work simultaneously. 

We shouldn’t be thinking of God as a person who gets ticked off on certain mornings and decides to drown an entire nation; in fact, there is a steady reality to the wrath of God. 

It is also important to understand that God’s anger is not sinful anger; instead, it is a manifestation of His holiness and righteousness. 

God’s anger is over everything that violates His holiness and pollutes the universe He created.

So anger as such is not sinful; it depends on the purpose, nature, and/or object of anger. Even Jesus, our perfect moral example, was angry at sin, unbelief, and hypocrisy, and God is angry at unrighteousness and apostasy.

The problem with human anger is that even in the proper sense (for example, at sin), it is easy to carry it too far that we sin in our anger and unlike God, who is “slow to anger,” we are often quick to anger. 

Here is a breakdown of the types of good and bad anger to help you better discern where you stand when your emotions take over.
