What does the Bible say about spiritual discernment?

Answered in 9 sources

The Bible teaches that spiritual discernment is only possible through the Holy Spirit, who helps believers understand God's truths (1 Corinthians 2:10-16).

According to 1 Corinthians 2:10-16, spiritual discernment is a gift given to believers by the Holy Spirit. This passage emphasizes that humanity, without the Spirit of God, is incapable of understanding spiritual truths, as they appear as foolishness to those who are unregenerate. It is the Holy Spirit who searches the depths of God and reveals His secrets to the elect, enabling them to comprehend truths that are otherwise unknowable by human means.
