How does the Bible describe spiritual blindness?

Answered in 1 source

Spiritual blindness is depicted as an inability to comprehend God and his gospel due to one's sinful nature.

In the sermon, spiritual blindness is illustrated through the metaphor of a blind person who is unable to see the truth of God or recognize their own sinful condition. The preacher refers to Matthew 11:5, where Jesus outlines his miracles, symbolizing the spiritual condition of mankind. Just as a physically blind person cannot perceive the world around them, spiritually blind individuals cannot grasp the realities of the gospel until God opens their eyes. This blindness stems from the inherent sinfulness of humanity as described in Romans 3:10-12, where it states that there is none righteous, not even one. The recognition of one's blindness is essential for acknowledging the need for Christ, who alone can provide spiritual sight and understanding.
