What does the Bible say about presumption in sin?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes presumption as an arrogant independence from God's authority, as seen in Jude 1.

Presumption, as articulated in Jude 1, reflects an attitude of arrogance and hubris against the authority of Jesus Christ. The scripture highlights that presumption involves going beyond what is proper, leading individuals to believe they deserve better from God. Notably, this is linked to a rejection of God's ordained means of atonement, as evidenced in the story of Cain, who presumptuously thought his offering would suffice despite God's requirements. Jude warns against such individuals who separate themselves, appearing as if they seek liberty while actually promoting sensuality and rebellion against God's authority.
