How does God open our understanding to the truth?

God opens the understanding of His people through His Holy Spirit and the faithful preaching of His Word. According to 1 Corinthians 2:14, the natural man cannot comprehend spiritual truths without divine intervention. The power of God’s Word, communicated rightly through preaching, serves as the means by which understanding is granted. This aligns with Romans 10:14-17, which highlights the necessity of hearing the gospel from a preacher to believe and be saved, showcasing the importance of God’s sovereignty in the process of understanding and embracing the truth.
