What does the Bible say about divine revelation?

Answered in 6 sources

The Bible teaches that spiritual truth is only understood through divine revelation, as natural man cannot grasp it on their own.

The Bible clearly indicates that understanding spiritual truths cannot occur through human efforts alone. In Matthew 13:13-15, the Lord explains that parables were used so that those who are spiritually blind cannot perceive the truth, aligning with Isaiah's prophecy. True comprehension of scripture requires the divine grace of God, which opens the eyes of the blind. The privilege of spiritual understanding is bestowed upon those who experience the new birth, where God grants insight according to His sovereign will and purpose.
