Spiritual Blindness *
Q: Why can't "anyone" understand the Bible
Q: Is the Bible just a simple book as it appears on the surface?
Those unsaved can barely scratch the surfave of Scripture. It is very deep and its rich treasures can only be seen with spiritual eyes. Only those born again (given spiritual life; made a new creation by God) has those spiritual eyes. Because of the indwelling Holy Spirit a believer can unlock the hidden things of Scripture and dive into the deep depths.
But to us [redeemed believers] God revealed them through the Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God
1 Corinthians 2:15
Those who are [born again] spiritual can evaluate all things
Because it is spiritually discerned:
1 Cor. 2:14
But people who aren’t [those unsaved] spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are [born again] spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.
This is why the unsaved generally scoff at the Bible. They are spiritually blind. They cannot see it, understand it nor have access to the depths of it.
Believers submerge themselves in it and constantly learn more from it...their whole life.
