How to comprehend the words of Jesus?

“I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?” John 3:12

This is about the discourse between Jesus and Nicodemus, a religious leader.

The Holy Spirit told me this deals with the subject of “seeing is believing” which runs contrary to the spiritual truth the righteous shall live by faith not by sight. 

Jesus said I have spoken to you about earthly things concerning the principles of living with Me. I have performed many signs and wonders which you have seen. But you religious leaders do not believe who I am and cannot understand the deep things of God.

Jesus said your unbelief keeps you from understanding heavenly things. 

Jesus turned water into fine wine and healed a crippled woman with an infirmity for 18 years. 

Jesus responded you believe in these miracles because you can see them but you can’t believe in heavenly things which are blinded to your eyes.

Faith is the only way you can interact with the Living Christ. 

Faith is believing God calls things that don’t exist as if they did. 

Faith is believing in the promises of God and reaching out to Jesus for your every need. 

Faith does not require proof or evidence. You live and move and have your being centered on the words of Jesus. 

You cannot substitute religion for faith. This will lead you into a works doctrine and an effort to keep laws to appease God. 

Without faith it is impossible to please God.

The ability to understand Jesus begins with a decision from the heart to live for Him.

This will cause you to be born again. The act of salvation transforms you into a new creature and seals you with the Holy Spirit. He is the life of Jesus and will teach you how to comprehend the words of Jesus and live by His values. 

The scales will come off your eyes and you will see the reality of Jesus who has power and dominion over all things.
