But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

1 Corinthians 2:14 KJV

Scripture splits people into two categories: a person is either in the natural or unspiritual; or the person is spiritual. The natural man cannot understand the things of the Spirit of God. One must have the Holy Spirit to understand the things of the Spirit. The natural man often blames God when things don’t go like they should in his eyes. The spiritual man knows that God works all things together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. We must make certain that we are spiritually sound. We don’t want to be carnal or worldly; we don’t want to be in the natural state.  Those who are in the natural, are walking as men walk. Worldly christians stand a greater risk of falling away or being led astray by false teaching. Make certain that we are being spiritually minded in all we do. Being spiritually minded means that we believe in Jesus and His ways and yield to Him. We need to be spiritually minded to understand the things of the Spirit of God.
