The Bible teaches that spiritual sight is granted by God, enabling individuals to understand and perceive spiritual truths (1 Corinthians 2:9-10).
Spiritual sight is described in various passages of Scripture as a divine revelation necessary for understanding the Kingdom of God. Jesus emphasized in John 3:3 that unless a person is born again, they cannot see the kingdom of God, illustrating that this insight is a gift from God, not something one can achieve by their own efforts. This aligns with Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 2:9-10, which states that what God has prepared for those who love Him is revealed by the Spirit, indicating that our understanding of spiritual matters must be divinely illuminated. Without this touch from God, the spiritual truths remain hidden, much like the young servant of Elisha who was ultimately shown the protective army of the Lord only through divine intervention.
