Why do some deny the resurrection?

According to the sermon, some deny the resurrection out of rebellion against God's truth and the fear of accountability. Paul addresses this issue in 1 Corinthians 15, noting that denying the resurrection challenges the very foundation of the Gospel. Those who disbelieve hope there is no resurrection to escape judgment, which reflects a deeper spiritual blindness and lack of faith. This denial can deceive many, but Scripture affirms that all will indeed be raised and stand before God (1 Corinthians 15:12-14).
