What happens when there is no acknowledgment of God as King?

The absence of recognition of God's kingship leads to moral and spiritual chaos, as seen in Judges 17:6 where it states 'everyone did what was right in their own eyes.' This reflects a society devoid of divine authority, resulting in individualism and idolatry. In our lives, when God’s authority is unacknowledged, we are prone to follow our own inclinations, leading to destructive paths. Acknowledging God's kingship restores order, directing us away from self-centeredness towards a life guided by His will and truth.
