John 3:6
If everything exists obeying some principles to perform their functions, then human beings also should perform such principles to make possible their existence. Then why they need to obey some principles deliberately? No other entity in the universe practice any principles deliberately!

Let us look into the facts in a little detail. All entities exist performing their concerned functions by obeying some principles . This is possible only by the application of an external power. No doubt, this is true in the case of human being also, because human being also exists within the universe . But what is the difference between the existence of human being and others. All other entities obey particular principles concerned to their functions or behavior to exist. They cannot modify their functions or behavior and thereby these principles . But man can modify his behaviors, in positive or negative manner. Example, an animal is induced by hungry to search for food. It will continue its search either till get the food or till loss all its energy in search and die. It cannot modify this behavior in anyway. In the case of all other material entities this is true. Look into the case of human being he can behave in some other ways also, he can control his hungry and stay without searching food or he can produce food by cultivating. Means, he can modify his behavior himself.
This quality -self control or modification- is quite different from those seen in non-human entities. As this is a peculiar function, or behavior, seen in human being alone, there should be a peculiar plane of principles in action in human beings that govern this peculiar behavior or quality. So in human beings two different sets of principles or planes (Actually it is not 2 sets of principles, same set working in different planes) are in action, as he is the part of common matter (universe) he is governed by the principles which govern the universe, the physical plane. And the second set of principles, that governs the behavior that peculiar to human beings,works in the second plane or spiritual plane. By the help of the second type of principles in action he can modify his behavior, or his character. If he doesn't do that, he will remain as an animal.
The second type of principles do not modify his physical being, but the behavior, qualities or character. In nut shell, these set of principles control not the physical characteristics but non-physical(qualities) or spiritual characteristics, means a non-physical world exists in human being. We inherit some physical characteristics from our parents,from physical world, but it is not possible to inherit qualities from there, we know qualities do not have physical existence. Because,Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. We are physically from our parents, from physical world, but qualitatively not from parents. Physical birth and existence is governed by principles working in physical plane. The qualities are not governed by principles working in physical plane, but non-physical plane, so we have to get it after our physical birth. In nut shell, we need a spiritual birth to the spiritual world to get the principles worked in us . Some time we can see the characters or qualities of our parents in us. It is not inherited but imitated. By allowing the principles to work in the spiritual plane we can add qualities to us and we can completely override these so called inherited qualities and even the qualities produced by the hormones secreted by some physical organs - glands. Gradually we can be completely governed by these non-physical (Spiritual) principles or world and at that point of time we will have only non-physical existence, because these spiritual principles(spiritual world) override all physical principles , leads to give up physical existence, and achieve only spiritual existence ( Jesus resurrected).
With these spiritual principles, or spiritual world, only we can perform miraculous deeds. Because, what overrides principles in physical plane is called miracle. Now we can understand why we need to obey some principles to get access to the miraculous power. All entities can only function according to the principles in physical plane assigned to them by the external power, but human being can access this power by performing functions obeying principles in spiritual plane. And, sure, we can stay as animals without obeying these principles.
