Note 1 at Mt 13:11: God's truths are hidden for His children. God has given an open invitation to all people (Mt 11:28-30, Joh 3:16, Ac 2:39, Ro 10:11-13, and Re 22:17) to receive the spiritual rebirth that entitles them to the revelation of these mysteries of the kingdom (Joh 7:17, 14:26, 15:15, 26; 1Co 2:10, and 16). But as stated in 1Co 2:14, a natural person cannot receive the things of the Spirit of God, because they are spiritually discerned. Therefore, whoever rejects Jesus rejects the source of all wisdom and knowledge (Col 2:3), thereby reserving the deep things of God for those who receive Jesus and draw on His wisdom through the Holy Spirit. This also safeguards the laws of God, upon which the entire universe is founded, from being appropriated and misused by Satan's kingdom.
