Three different emotions we feel often can be dangerous. They are pride, anger, and fear. ChristianMarriageBuilder.org is posting one post on each and defining the danger of each. Pride was the first negative emotion we are aware of in Scriptural History. It is mentioned in Isaiah 14:13 where Satan is quoted as saying “‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north” In other words, I will be like God.
Fear became a problem in human life right after Adam and Eve sinned. God was looking for Adam in the Garden of Eden, and when they meet up, Adam says “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, and I hid myself.” Genesis 3:10.
Anger became a problem for men the first time when Cain was angry with Able. God says to Cain in Genesis 4:6, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? So each of these emotions has become a problem for us as people. We will explore more about them in upcoming posts.
