spiritually discerned

Do you believe that the Bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit? Do you understand that the Holy Spirit is needed just as much for you to comprehend the Bible today as the authors did when they were inspired to write it? The words that I speak are spirit and life. Who can comprehend the things of the spirit except by the Spirit? The flesh profits nothing, for these things are spiritually discerned. You learned a method of study in school according to rational systematic inquiry. Do you seek to apply this same method to everything you study? Your study of my word will be more effective if you approach it with a conscious dependence on my Holy Spirit to reveal it to you.
