What does the Bible say about the role of the Holy Spirit in understanding Scripture?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit is essential for understanding Scripture, as the letter kills but the Spirit gives life (2 Corinthians 3:6).

The Bible affirms that the Holy Spirit is not merely an addition to the written Word but is essential for truly comprehending its meaning and implications. Ephesians 6:17 describes the Word of God as the sword of the Spirit, indicating that it is through the Spirit’s influence that Scripture is quickened and applied to the heart of believers. Without this divine guidance, the Scriptures remain a sealed book, unable to touch the heart or transform lives.
