"I
have heard of you by the hearing of the ear,
but
now my eye sees you."
Job
42:5
It's interesting that he didn't say "my EYES
see you." By saying "my EYE" sees you he's indicating
that he's not seeing God with his physical eyes, but with his
spiritual eye. Huge difference.
"But the natural man does
not receive
the things of the Spirit of
God,
for they are foolishness to
him;
nor can he know them,
because
they are spiritually discerned."
1
Corinthians 2:14
There is a dimension superior to the
one we are born into, the dimension of the spiritual world through
which a born-again person lives in a far different world than he did
previously. The natural man cannot experience it, in fact when you
speak of spiritual things, the natural man will be bored and will
change the subject. The Bible is "too difficult" for him
and he has no interest in it, NOR CAN HE.
But at the new
birth, all that changes. When the Spirit of the living God comes
alive in the heart of a human being, everything changes. He hungers
for the Word of God, he has the Lord on his mind continually, and his
greatest enjoyment is speaking with other believers about the things
of the Lord.
If you have not been born again, I urge you to
seek the Lord Jesus Christ and ask for that re-creation which will be
your foundation for the rest of your life. It's a grand adventure and
oh how the believer wishes that all could share it.
"Therefore,
if anyone is in Christ,
HE IS A NEW CREATION;
old
things have passed away;
behold, all things have become new."
2
Corinthians 5:17
