How does one receive the truth according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

One receives the truth by being sovereignly regenerated by the Holy Spirit, allowing them to understand and accept the gospel.

Receiving the truth involves a spiritual transformation that comes through the work of the Holy Spirit. In John 10:27, Jesus states, 'My sheep hear My voice,' indicating that true believers have a deep-seated ability to recognize and respond to His truth. This is a result of being 'of the truth,' which signifies a new birth into the kingdom of God, as described in 1 Peter 1:23, where believers are 'born again' through the living and abiding Word of God. Consequently, the Holy Spirit illuminates the mind and heart, enabling one to embrace God's revelation in scripture and to live according to His truth.
