How do we know that Christ can heal our spiritual deafness and blindness?
Answered in 1 source
We can trust that Christ heals our spiritual deafness and blindness through His Word and the Holy Spirit's work in our hearts.
The assurance that Christ can heal our spiritual blindness and deafness comes from both His example in Scripture and the promises made about His power to save. In Mark's Gospel, we observe Jesus performing physical miracles, like healing the deaf and blind, which are signs of the spiritual miracles He accomplishes through the Gospel. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17). When we hear the true Gospel, the Holy Spirit works to open our ears to comprehend the truth, enabling us to respond in faith. It underscores that it is not our efforts but Christ's power that accomplishes this transformation within us.
