How do we know that divine revelation is necessary for understanding the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

Divine revelation is essential for understanding the gospel because the natural man cannot comprehend spiritual truths without it.

The necessity of divine revelation is underscored in 1 Corinthians 2, where it states that the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. This indicates that our understanding of the gospel is directly tied to God revealing truth to us by His Spirit. Without this supernatural intervention, our spiritual blindness prevents us from grasping the depths of God's word and His plan for salvation. It is God who gives spiritual sight and understanding, making it vital for all who seek to know Him to be spiritually awakened by divine grace.
