1 Corinthians 2:14 (NKJV) 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
There are two kinds of man. One with God and one without.
The natural man is the man without God. He is physically alive. He can breathe, he can think and walk etc., but his spirit is dead. He has no connection with God, and the things of God are foolishness to him. This man is called the natural man and he will not make it to heaven when his flesh or body dies.
The good news is that God made a way to help the natural man. He knew that the natural man could never be with Him in the sinful condition that he was in. So God in all of His mercy sent forth His Son, Jesus Christ, to be his Savior.
Jesus was a perfect Man. His life here for 33 years was holy and pure. He never messed up or made a mistake. All His actions and thoughts were righteous and good!
It was the blood of God’s perfect Son Jesus Christ, sacrificed on the cross for each one of us, that made the way for us to become His sons and daughters. He is the way to the Father.
As we put our faith in Him, our spirit comes alive and we are a new creation.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
There is freedom and life for the natural man today, in Christ. Will you believe and trust in Him today?
