       Number two: Wrath. So, wrath is something that is reserved for God. It’s not something that we are supposed to be practicing as part of our character. Wrath implies that we are certainly right, better than others, and that others therefore deserve our severe condemnation. The Scripture records for us that when the archangel Michael was warring with Satan, that “he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you” (Jude 9, ESV). If we are not even to judge and rebuke Satan, then certainly not our fellow humans. Number three: Malice. This form of sin is the desire to do others wrong, or to get back at them, whether the action presents itself as justified or not. It is that internal, burning feeling that usually develops over time. It is due to incorrect thinking, again, usually over a long period of time, and it is a result of not forgiving another for their offense.
