What are offensive sayings in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Offensive sayings in the Bible refer to truths about human sinfulness and the need for divine grace.

Offensive sayings highlight the stark reality of human sin and the necessity of grace for salvation. For example, Jesus’ assertion in Matthew 7:21, that not everyone who calls Him 'Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, challenges the notion that good deeds alone can lead to salvation. Humanity's absolute depravity and reliance on Christ's righteousness are central to these sayings, which are often met with resistance from those who prefer a gospel of works over grace. Such truths call for humility and a recognition of our need for Jesus Christ’s atoning sacrifice.
