Why is it important for Christians to accept the counsel of God?

Answered in 1 source

Accepting the counsel of God is essential for salvation and spiritual life.

For Christians, accepting the counsel of God — embodied in the gospel of Christ — is of utmost importance. This acceptance brings about justification and reconciliation with God. In Luke 7:29, it is noted that the publicans and sinners justified God by being baptized, recognizing their need for a Savior. Accepting the counsel of God leads to a life transformed by grace, as it acknowledges one’s own sinfulness and need for Christ's atoning work. In contrast, those who reject this counsel like the Pharisees risk eternal condemnation, as they are relying on their self-righteousness instead of the righteousness that comes through faith in Christ.
