How do we know God's grace is essential for understanding scripture?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace is essential for understanding scripture, as it illuminates our hearts and minds to the truth.

In the sermon, it is emphasized that understanding scripture and the secrets of the kingdom rely entirely on God's grace. Jesus told his disciples in Mark 4 that to them had been given the knowledge of the kingdom, highlighting that this understanding is not earned but granted by God. The natural state of the heart is one of rebellion and darkness, but through God's grace, believers are opened to comprehend the truth of the gospel. Such grace is what distinguishes those who genuinely understand God's Word from those who may intellectually assent but do not truly believe.
