The Gospel is described as a mystery that can only be understood through divine revelation, as stated in 1 Corinthians 2:10.
In 1 Corinthians 2:7-10, the Apostle Paul speaks of the wisdom of God being hidden, a mystery revealed to those who are spiritually discerning. The natural man cannot comprehend the depths of the Gospel's truth because it is spiritually discerned. This aligns with the Reformed view that human understanding of God and the mysteries of salvation is not dependent on intellectual capacity but on the illumination of the Holy Spirit. Only through the Spirit's work can we grasp the profound realities of the Gospel, including total depravity, unconditional election, and the sovereignty of God in salvation.
