Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, except anyone be born from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.” ~ John 3:3 Berean Literal Bible

In this Scripture, God isn’t trying to emphasize sight over the other senses. The translators used the word “see,” but the original text means “sense by any of the senses.” Because of the natural bondage that resulted from Adam’s fall into sin, the natural mind can’t sense God’s kingdom. However, the spiritual mind can.

The natural mind can’t fulfill God’s will. It can’t prove a premise, so it can’t reason from a true premise. That means the natural mind can’t reason rationally. God gave this natural mind for survival. It reacts to sense data: sight, smell, taste, feeling, and sound. Living organisms manage to stay alive by this brute-beast mind. This mind can be as ingenious as a raccoon, but it can’t be rational without the Holy Spirit. God created our minds to live in His presence, and He’s given us the Spirit of a sound mind.
