Transforming our Wrath (Ira)
● Main Point: A life of the Spirit of Jesus helps us swap wrath (anger) for patience as we allow him to work in our brokenness.
● Fruit of the Spirit: Patience
UNPACKING WRATH:
● Focus: Intense anger, hatred, or desire for vengeance.
● Core Motivation: A response to perceived wrongs or injustices, often uncontrolled and disproportionate.
● Example: Seeking revenge, harboring grudges, physical or verbal abuse.
● Spiritual Consequence: Wrath destroys relationships and prevents forgiveness and reconciliation.
