How does spiritual sight relate to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Spiritual sight is directly tied to salvation as it allows a person to see and understand the truth of the gospel and their need for Christ.

Spiritual sight is a central theme in salvation because it is through sight that one perceives the need for redemption. The Sermon on the Mount begins with the blessedness of the poor in spirit, those who recognize their spiritual poverty and need for grace. This awareness requires a divine work to open one's eyes, much like the blind man in John 9 who needed a miracle to see. The Apostle Paul highlights this in 2 Corinthians 4:6, stating that God has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Thus, spiritual sight is a gracious gift from God that enables believers to see their sinfulness, the holiness of God, and the truth of the gospel message. Without this sight, individuals remain in darkness, unable to respond to God or understand His grace offered in Christ.
