What does it mean that the natural man cannot understand spiritual things?

Answered in 1 source

It means that without the Holy Spirit's revelation, a person is unable to grasp the truths of God.

The natural man, as described in 1 Corinthians 2:14, lacks the ability to receive or understand the things of the Spirit because these truths are spiritually discerned. This underscores the necessity of regeneration, where the Holy Spirit opens the eyes of our hearts to perceive and accept the gospel. Without this divine enlightenment, individuals remain in spiritual darkness, unable to comprehend God's grace, the significance of Christ's sacrifice, or the call to believe. Therefore, it is essential that believers recognize their utter dependence on the Spirit for understanding and faith.
