How does God enable us to spiritually hear the gospel?

The biblical teaching is clear that our ability to hear the gospel and respond in faith is not due to our efforts but is a divine work of God. Ephesians 2:8-9 states, 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.' This indicates that the gift of faith to believe the gospel is granted by God Himself. Without His intervention, we would remain spiritually deaf and unable to perceive the truth of the gospel. It emphasizes the sovereignty of God in salvation, where He equips individuals with the necessary 'spiritual ears' and understanding to receive His truth.
