Why do many struggle to understand the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

Many struggle to understand the gospel because they rely on human wisdom rather than spiritual discernment (1 Corinthians 2:14).

1 Corinthians 2:14 explains, '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.' This passage highlights the fundamental issue—those who approach spiritual matters solely through a natural, unregenerate lens often find the gospel nonsensical. The message of the cross, with its emphasis on grace and dependence on God, contradicts human wisdom and pride. As believers, we recognize that true understanding comes through the illumination of the Holy Spirit, who enables us to accept and cherish the gospel's profound truths.
