What does it mean that the gospel is veiled to the lost?

Answered in 1 source

It means that those who do not believe are unable to perceive the truth and glory of the gospel.

When Paul discusses the gospel being veiled to the lost in 2 Corinthians 4:3-4, he indicates that those who do not believe are blinded by the god of this world, resulting in their inability to see the light of the glorious gospel of Christ. This veiling is not a lack of hearing the words but rather a deep-seated spiritual blindness that obscures their understanding and acceptance of the gospel’s message. It illustrates the reality that the gospel can be apparent in the world, yet the hearts of the lost remain hard and unresponsive until God, in His mercy, removes the veil and grants them faith.
