How do we know spiritual sight is a gift from God?

Answered in 1 source

Spiritual sight is a divine gift, given by Christ alone, who leads individuals out of blindness into the light of His truth.

The healing of the blind man in Mark 8 emphasizes that only Jesus can grant spiritual sight. The act of spitting in the man's eyes symbolized the Word of God giving light, as mentioned in Psalm 119:130: 'The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.' Christ's ability to restore sight reflects His sovereignty and grace, showcasing that true understanding and recognition of God's glory come solely through His initiative and mercy. Those who are spiritually awakened begin to see themselves and their sinfulness in relation to God's holiness, which leads to a clearer vision of Christ's redemptive work.
