v47
They won't believe the Bible because they are not of God

John 3:18

John 8:43 because ye cannot hear my word

John 5:30-32 who bears witness?

• 5:33 - John
• 5:36 - his own miracles and works
• 5:37 - the Father
• 5:39 - the Scriptures

Jesus identifies the problem

• 5:40 - They were not willing
• 5:42 - they do not love God
• 5:43 - they will not receive
• 5:44 - they will not believe

The illogic of the unsaved mind

• Eph 2:1 spiritually deadened
• Eph 2:3 children of wrath by nature
• Eph 4:17-19 the unsaved mind is vain futile
• 2Cor 4:4 Satan has blinded their minds
