What does the Bible say about man's rejection of Christ's lordship?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that many reject Christ's lordship, declaring, 'We will not have this man to reign over us,' reflecting the natural enmity of the heart against God (Luke 19:14).

The scripture highlights the human tendency to resist the authority of Christ, as seen in Luke 19:14, where the citizens openly reject the nobleman by saying they do not want Him to reign over them. This rebellion is rooted in humanity's sinful nature, which is inherently at odds with God's sovereignty. As Paul explains, the carnal mind is enmity against God and does not submit to His law (Romans 8:7). When individuals cling to their perceived autonomy and resist God's calls for faith, they exemplify the profound rejection of Christ's lordship that permeates the unregenerate heart.
