“In Christ, a person is not condemned merely for rejecting a prophet; rather, condemnation arises from the unbelief and hardness of heart that result from refusing to accept God’s message. Prophets serve as messengers to guide people toward salvation, but when their words are persistently ignored or rejected, it reflects an inner resistance to God’s truth. The resulting spiritual condition—unbelief, disobedience, and moral hardness—is what leads to sin and separation from God, not the mere act of rejecting the messenger. Condemnation is therefore rooted in the heart’s response to God, not in rejecting the prophet alone.” — worded by AI
