Understanding is true as it enables belief in Christ, aligning with Scripture's declarations about salvation.
Understanding, as presented in the sermon, is not merely an educational achievement but a profound spiritual gift from God. It is confirmed through the ability to believe in the gospel and comprehend the realities of one's own sinfulness and the sufficiency of Christ's salvation. The sermon underscores that true understanding comes from receiving a new heart and being enlightened by the Holy Spirit. As believers grow in understanding, they increasingly see their dependence on grace and recognize Jesus as the only means of salvation, as referenced in Scripture. This aligns with Romans 10:14-17, which emphasizes the necessity of hearing the gospel for faith to arise.
