Why do some people resist God's will?

Answered in 1 source

People resist God's will due to their sinful nature and the desire to pursue their own paths.

The resistance to God’s will is rooted in humanity's sinful nature, as originally established in the fall of Adam. Romans 9 discusses the tension between God's sovereign will and human rebellion, indicating that while God's ultimate purpose cannot be thwarted, individuals still exercise their will against His commands. This resistance highlights humanity's propensity to sin and the necessity of divine intervention. In God's revelation, it becomes clear that if left to ourselves, we will choose paths contrary to His desires, leading to spiritual death. Thus, it is through God's grace and the work of the Holy Spirit that individuals are brought to faith and repentance, aligning their wills with His.
