"I’ve tried to read the Bible, but I can’t understand it." I've heard this said before.

"A person who isn't spiritual doesn't accept the teachings of God's Spirit.  He thinks they're nonsense.  He can't understand them because a person must be spiritual to evaluate them."  1 Corinthians 2:14

 

The Scriptures tell us that the "natural man" cannot understand the things of the Spirit of God. Most of us would find it difficult to understand the Chinese language. However, a child who is born into a Chinese family can understand every word. That’s why you must be born again with God’s Spirit living within you (John 3:3  Jesus replied to Nicodemus, "I can guarantee this truth: No one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above."). The moment you become part of God’s family, the Bible will begin to make sense.
