Why do some people reject Christ as the cornerstone?

Answered in 1 source

People reject Christ as the cornerstone due to their inherent sinful nature and resistance to God’s authority.

The rejection of Christ as the cornerstone can be traced back to humanity's fallen nature and desire for autonomy, which is expressed vividly in John 1:11, stating that He came unto His own, and His own received him not. This reflects a broader spiritual rebellion against God’s authority, where many prefer to rely on their own efforts or alternatives for salvation rather than submit to Christ’s lordship. Furthermore, Romans 1:21 illustrates how failing to acknowledge God leads to futile thinking and darkened hearts. Ultimately, rejection comes from a heart resistant to the divine revelation of God's glory in Christ and from a misunderstanding of the true nature of freedom and submission to God's will.
