They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts” (Ephesians 4:17-18).
The Scriptures call the mind of the natural man “blinded” (2 Corinthians 4:4), “depraved” (Romans 1:28), “corrupt” (1 Timothy 6:5), and “unspiritual” (Colossians 2:18).

The sinful mind is under the control of Satan and can never please God because it concentrates on things of the world and not things of the Spirit. The natural mind walks the road of hopelessness and self-destruction.
