With that denial we repudiate Christ and we exercise a sort of anti-faith. Resentment, at its core, refuses redemption.</b> You nailed it. Resentment hurts us, not the other person. That's why it's worse. Because by holding on to resentment we deny that Christ can heal us and we deny that God’s judgment of others will be sufficient.

Resentment fills our hearts with bitterness. Bitterness cannot exist where God is. That is why it is the greater sin, because it separates us more fully from God.
