Bible Verses about Rejection
What does the Bible say about Rejection? There are many instances of rejection in the scripture stories. Whether it be God rejecting an offered sacrifice of man, man rejecting the advice of God, or man rejecting the proposals of his fellow man, in all cases one is deemed unworthy of acceptance by another.
