The natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit of God. God’s thoughts and His ways and His purposes are far above our thoughts and ways and purposes. We have feeble, sin-cursed, corrupt minds that cannot grasp the truths of God. We can put a man on the moon and produce amazing feats of art and literature and architecture. We can defeat disease and fix injury. We can do all that, but on our own we will never ‘get’ God or His works.
That’s why things seem so crazy to us as believers and that’s why we seem crazy to the world.
There is no excuse for us who are saved. We have the mind of Christ is we are saved. We have the word of God to instruct us. We have godly teachers. There is no excuse for us to not.
We can’t expect the world to act like us. We can’t try to hold them to our standards. They need Christ. They need the guidance of the Holy Spirit. They need the word of God. Out task is to draw them to Christ.
