What does the Bible say about man's rebellion against God?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible demonstrates that mankind inherently rejects God's authority, often seeking to establish their own means of salvation.
The scriptures clearly illustrate that the natural man, like Abner, knows of God's sovereignty yet actively rebels against it. Romans 1:20-21 states that, despite recognizing God's existence through creation, people refuse to glorify Him or seek Him. This rebellion stems from an unwillingness to submit to God's rightful authority, leading individuals to create their own idols or standards of righteousness. Such actions reflect the total depravity of man, as highlighted in Romans 3:10-12, indicating that no one is righteous by God's perfect standards. Rather, in their rebellion, many craft an image of God that is comfortable to them, distorting the truth of who He is.
