And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased. - Galatians 5:11
It addresses all as sinners, and this offends man's dignity. It comes as a sovereign revelation, and this offends man's lofty thoughts of self. Its simple faith offends man's wisdom. Its effectual atonement offends man's pride. Its total glory to God offends man's desire for praise.
