Why do the unjust hate the truth?

The hatred of the truth by the unjust stems from their natural disposition against God. Scripture reveals that the unjust are inclined to love their own ways, seeking their own treasures rather than the truth of the gospel. As highlighted in Luke 16:13, one cannot serve both God and money (or self). This dichotomy leads the unjust to despise the truth of God's Word, as it clashes with their desire for autonomy and self-sufficiency. Until God intervenes to change their hearts, they will continue to reject the only source of true hope and redemption.
