How does God enable us to perceive spiritual truths?
Answered in 1 source
God enables us to perceive spiritual truths by giving us new hearts and understanding through His grace.
God's enabling of our perception of spiritual truths is rooted in His grace, as He must first grant us spiritual life to see and understand. As explained in Proverbs 1:2 and supported by passages like John 6:44, it is affirmed that God draws individuals to Himself, allowing them to perceive and believe the Gospel. This divine action is necessary because human effort alone cannot achieve spiritual understanding. The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in illuminating the Scriptures, allowing believers to grasp the truth of God's Word and the person of Jesus Christ as central to salvation. Thus, it is God's sovereign grace that allows us to perceive and understand spiritual truths.
