What does the Bible say about spiritual hearing and speaking?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible illustrates spiritual hearing and speaking through physical miracles, as seen in Mark 7, demonstrating that those who are spiritually alive can hear and speak plainly about God's truth.
In Mark 7, we see Jesus perform the miracle of healing a deaf and mute man, which serves as a powerful metaphor for spiritual conditions. Just as the deaf man could not hear or speak due to his physical limitations, so too are the spiritually dead unable to recognize or communicate the truths of God. The healing symbolizes the transformative power of Christ that opens ears to hear the Gospel and loosens tongues to proclaim God's word. This miracle reminds us that spiritual deafness and dumbness are common to those who are not born again; without divine intervention, they remain blind to their need for salvation. Thus, when God gives someone ears to hear and a mouth to speak, they respond to His truth with clarity and conviction, proclaiming that Jesus Christ is Lord.
