What does it mean to be spiritually blind according to the Bible?

Answered in 4 sources

Spiritual blindness refers to an inability to perceive and accept the truth of the gospel, hindering one's coming to Christ (2 Corinthians 4:3-4).

Spiritual blindness is a condition described in Scriptures that signifies a lack of understanding and awareness of God's truth. As noted in 2 Corinthians 4:3-4, the gospel is hidden to those who are perishing, and the god of this world has blinded their minds. This blindness prevents them from recognizing their need for salvation and the glorious truth found in Christ. It is an indictment of human depravity, suggesting that individuals, apart from the divine intervention of the Holy Spirit, are unable to see the beauty and necessity of the gospel. The remedy for this condition lies not in human effort but in God's grace, which opens blind eyes and enables people to see the light of Christ.
