What are the causes of rejecting Christ according to Scripture?

Several causes for rejecting Christ are outlined in the sermon, drawing on various Scriptural insights. Firstly, spiritual blindness, as expressed in Ephesians 4:18, reflects an ignorance of one’s true need for salvation. Many people are unaware of their need for Christ because they are blinded by their own self-righteousness, attempting to establish their righteousness apart from God’s revelation. Additionally, the pull of worldly lusts and affections keeps individuals focused on temporal pleasures, making the Gospel appear foolish as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 1:18. Understanding these reasons paints a complete picture of human estrangement from God and emphasizes the necessity for divine intervention and grace for anyone to receive Christ.
