It is written “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). If we are not careful, we are going to allow unconverted human minds to redefine the New Testament Church God has established. If the natural mind does not comprehend the things of the Spirit of God, and the things of the Spirit include divine understanding of God’s Word, why is the Church entering into this fruitless biblical debate with unbelievers?
Most importantly, why are we backing down from God’s Word? The Church must come to grips with the reality that the world will never accept us. We are a mystery! There are two realities we must understand as the Church. First, we need to continue preaching the Gospel without apology and without shame, and if unbelievers reject Jesus Christ and call us crazy, then so be it. Second, we need to face the fact that the epistles were not written to the unbeliever, but to the believer. For instance, Submission of a wife to a husband in the godly, righteous, holy sense of the New Testament is not a concept the worldly mind can grasp.
Unbelievers are supposed to think these teachings are ridiculous! They have no spiritual capacity to receive them, and Paul exhorts us that these truths are “foolishness” to them. The unregenerated person cannot comprehend that submission can bring freedom and joy, because this is “spiritually discerned,” and they are spiritually dead. Paul’s letters were written specifically to us, this new, unique mystery called the Church. We are the ones who are filled with God’s Spirit, the Teacher who gives illumination, divine empowerment, and comfort.
SELAH! TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER, AMEN.
