How do we know faith is essential for seeing spiritual truths?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is the gift that allows believers to perceive unseen spiritual realities, as stated in Hebrews 11:1.

According to Hebrews 11:1, 'faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' This means that faith serves as the lens through which believers view eternal truths and realities that are beyond physical perception. The new birth imparts this faith, enabling a believer to understand and trust in God's promises. This understanding corresponds with the biblical teaching that apart from faith, one remains spiritually blind and unable to recognize their need for salvation or the beauty of Christ. Romans 10:17 further emphasizes that faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of God, reinforcing that faith is vital for spiritual sight and comprehension.
