What does the Bible say about seeking refuge from God?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that the natural man seeks refuge from God rather than reconciliation, as seen in Genesis 3:8 and Revelation 6:15.
According to Scripture, the natural man, in his enmity against God, seeks a refuge from Him instead of reconciliation. This is evident in Genesis 3:8, where Adam and Eve hid from the presence of the Lord after sinning. Likewise, Revelation 6:15 describes how people will hide in the mountains and rocks, attempting to escape the judgment of God. This desire to flee reflects a fundamental truth that all men, being dead in trespasses and sins, naturally avoid God, preferring to find some refuge in their own works or self-righteousness. Yet, such efforts are futile, as true reconciliation is only found in Christ.
