Why do people resist the message of the Gospel?

Answered in 1 source

People resist the message of the Gospel due to their sinful nature and natural inclination away from God.

According to Scripture, mankind’s resistance to the Gospel stems from a fallen nature that is at enmity with God. Isaiah 1:3 states that God's people do not consider Him, highlighting the spiritual blindness and rebellion inherent in the human heart. Romans 3:11 emphasizes that no one seeks after God on their own. This resistance is indicative of a deeper spiritual condition—the heart of man is depraved and unwilling to come to Christ unless drawn by God’s sovereign grace. It is only through the Gospel's proclamation that God reaches into the hearts of individuals to awaken faith and bring them to salvation.
