Satan loves to bait us into unforgiveness because it’s one of his most effective schemes—poisoning our hearts, destroying our relationships, and ultimately tearing churches and communities apart from the inside out. Paul shows that the real spiritual danger in Corinth wasn’t the people attacking him, but the bitterness and resentment that would spread if believers refused to forgive. Unforgiveness works like a virus: it steals our joy and health, isolates us, spreads to others, and gives the enemy a foothold to derail God’s mission. Jesus offers the cure—not just by commanding forgiveness, but by modeling it on the cross—calling us to reject Satan’s trap and choose forgiveness so we can live in freedom, unity, and the life God intended.
