What does the Bible say about strife with God?

Answered in 1 source

Strife with God arises when humans glory in themselves instead of giving Him the true glory.

According to Hosea 4:1, God has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land due to a lack of truth, mercy, and knowledge of Him. This issue of strife is primarily rooted in human pride and vanity, where people may seek to gain glory for themselves rather than acknowledging the glory that belongs to God alone. As Paul mentions in Philippians, strife among believers is often linked to vainglory, which reflects a failure to recognize God’s rightful place in our lives. True peace with God requires a humble acceptance of His truth and a submission to His will.
