Why do people not respond to God's offer of grace?

Answered in 1 source

People often do not respond to God's grace because they lack a heart for Him due to their sinful nature.

The irony of Proverbs 17:16 is that even though the price for wisdom is available, fools do not pursue it because they have no heart for God. This lack of interest can be traced back to humanity's sinful nature, as described in Psalm 14:1-3, where it is stated that there is none who seeks after God. Following the fall, mankind is characterized by a preference for worldly things and a disregard for their eternal souls. The innate rebellion against God results in apathy toward His grace, leading individuals to pursue self-righteousness rather than the righteousness that comes by faith in Christ.
