Why does the world oppose the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

The world opposes the gospel because it conflicts with human arrogance and the desire for self-rulership.

The opposition to the gospel arises from the inherent rebellion within the human heart against God's sovereignty. As stated in Psalm 2, the nations rage against the Lord and His anointed, reflecting a desire to break free from divine authority. This reflects the attitude of pride that resists the need for a Savior and the radical grace offered through the gospel. The true gospel contradicts the common belief systems that promote self-righteousness and earn salvation through works. As such, believers can expect opposition, but they also find hope in Christ’s victory over the world. This struggle against worldly opposition is part of the believer's journey in faith.
