From the pen of Craig Edwards, Our bodies respond to it's five senses; The soul responds to emotion, reason, and logic; The spirit ONLY responds to TRUTH! The body connects with others; The soul connects with yourself; The spirit connects with/to God! An unconverted person is dead spiritually, therefore, the part of them that connects to God and responds to Truth, is dead. That's why Jesus said, "He that hath an ear to hear, let him hear." The natural (unconverted) man does not receive or understand (hear) spiritual things; they are "Foolishness" unto him. That's why the unsaved seek churches where the flesh is entertained, and the soul (emotions) are stirred. When an unsaved person gets under the sound of the Truth, and the Holy Spirit plants the seed of Truth on "Good Ground", it produces conviction. The seed of Truth is the ONLY SOURCE with the power to raise a dead spirit. When the seed of God's Word is received by faith, the Holy Spirit uses the seed to produce "New Life!!" The new life is like a baby.....and is hungry for the Milk of the Word.
