He That is SpiritualLewis Sperry Chafer pg. 16 “Men are classified according to their ability to understand and receive the ‘deep things of God.’ Into these ‘deep things of God’ no unaided man can go. “Even though man, of himself, cannot know the things of God, the Spirit knows them, and a man may be so related to the Spirit that he too may know them. “God's Book is a Book of words and the very words which convey ‘man's wisdom’ are used to convey things which ‘eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man.’ Nevertheless unaided man cannot understand these ‘deep things of God,’ though couched in words most familiar to man, except as they are ‘revealed’ by the Spirit.”
