How does rejecting the gospel make one guilty according to the Bible?

Jesus underscores the serious implications of rejecting the gospel in Luke 10:10-12, stating that it will be more tolerable for Sodom than for cities that have heard His message and still remain unrepentant. The cities of Chorazin and Bethsaida serve as grave examples of this principle, where the residents, despite witnessing Christ's miracles, chose to remain indifferent and unbelieving. Ryle elucidates that everyone's judgment will reflect their response to the light and revelation they received. Thus, neglecting such divine grace is not merely a passive act; it constitutes a deliberate rejection of God’s call, resulting in profound guilt.
