What are we admonished not to do?
Answer
"Be you angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: neither give place to the devil." Eph.
4: 26, 27.
NOTE - Those who give vent to anger or retain old grudges, who parley with temptation or
tamper with vice, who indulge in intemperance, pride, foolishness, or levity, or give way to any other
weakness, give place to the devil; that is, they give the devil an opportunity to work through them-give him
an advantage over them. We should therefore close every avenue to Satan and his angels. We should
suppress anger, be sober and watchful, and nip in the bud every prompting to sin.
