Benefits of Forgiveness: Bible and Neurology

Unforgiveness can lead to many emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual, health issues.  For those unable to forgive the consequences may not be temporary but eternal.  Emotionally, it can result in feelings of bitterness, resentment, and anger, which may affect one's well-being and relationships.  Psychologically, unresolved grievances can cause stress, anxiety, and depression, leading to mental health issues and poor cognitive functions. Physically, the negative emotions from unforgiveness can cause chronic health problems, like high blood pressure and a weakened immune system.  Spiritually, it’s a sin with eternal consequences.  A person who cannot or will not forgive, will not be forgiven.
