Bible study: They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, 1 John 4:5

The Bible explains to us that there is a spiritual language and a language of the world, a language of the flesh: "They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.", 1 John 4:5-6.
Jesus in the Gospel of John tells us about earthly things and heavenly things when he explains to Nicodemus the Gnosis, the birth of the water and the spirit: "´You are Israel's teacher´, said Jesus, ´and do you not understand these things? Very truly I tell you, we speak about we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak in heavenly things?´", John 3:10-12.

The language of the world is the language that comes from concupiscence, the disordered desires for the apparent goods: "They are shepherds with no discernment; they all turn to their own way, each one seeking his own gain.", Isaiah 56:11.
Instead the spiritual language is the language that comes from wisdom: "But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light", John 3:21. Basically the language of the world is the search for happiness, happiness is a selfish desire; the other, that is, our neighbor does not matter.
Jesus explains the Kingdom of God to us through parables that express certain characteristics of the empire, dominion of God's perfections such as progressiveness, expansiveness, accuracy; for those who live according to the flesh this language is impossible to understand. That is why when Jesus explains the Kingdom of God to Nicodemus, the doctor of the law asks Jesus: "´How can someone be born when they are old?´Nicodemus asked. ´Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother's womb to be born!´", John 3:4.
The spiritual man and the natural man are men in opposition, we have to choose between two ways and two rewards.
