What are the consequences of unforgiveness according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns that failure to forgive can lead to severe spiritual consequences, including separation from God.

Scripture makes it clear that unforgiveness has dire consequences. In Matthew 18:32-35, the unforgiving servant was handed over to tormentors after refusing to forgive a debt much smaller than his own. This serves as a sobering reminder that our refusal to forgive others can jeopardize our relationship with God. As God's forgiveness towards us is conditional on our willingness to forgive others, it underscores the serious nature of this command. Our spiritual well-being is affected when we harbor unforgiveness, thereby disrupting our fellowship with God and the church.
