Why do people reject the idea of God's absolute control?

The rejection of God's sovereignty often stems from a misunderstanding of His divine nature and justice. People tend to believe that God should operate according to their standards of fairness. The sermon points out that many argue against God's control over salvation, perceiving it as unjust to choose some and not others. This perspective fails to recognize God's perfect righteousness and His right to govern creation according to His will, as seen in Romans 9:15-16. Ultimately, this rejection reflects a deeper issue of the heart and its aversion to submission to God's authority.
