The natural man does not perceive reality. He is devoid of the Spirit and explains everything in an earthly, fleshly mindset. As such, he is also lost to the wonderful promises of God such as Isaiah 54:17

Why am I a Christian? Did God see I would believe?
The kingdom of Christ is an everlasting kingdom. Here we consider what is necessary for a kingdom to be eternal.
If we are to grasp the total depravity of man in his sin, we must also rightly regard God as perfectly holy.
Man is born dead in sin (total depravity). He has no ability to choose Christ nor does he want to choose Christ. There is no "island of goodness" in him.
We must be reminded frequently of gospel basics. Satan is always at work to lead us away from Christ and toward the worship of idols.
