  • 1 Corinthians 2:14-15 – “The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one.”

Statements

  • You must believe that is true. But it must be a saving belief. For even the devils believe and tremble. They believe and are terrified because Jesus is not their lord but their enemy. You must have faith in your LORD Jesus Christ. Trust Him to save you and intercede for you on the day of judgment.
