What does the Bible teach about spiritual blindness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that spiritual blindness prevents people from seeing their need for Christ and understanding the truth of the gospel.

Spiritual blindness is a significant theme in Scripture, where it is attributed to those who reject the truth and rely on their self-righteousness. In John 9:39, Jesus declares that He came for judgment, that those who do not see may see, and those who claim to see may be made blind. This concept reveals the tragic state of those who, like the blind Pharisees, think they understand but are ignorant of their need for a Savior. It emphasizes the necessity of divine illumination to bring awareness of sin and the grace available in Christ. Only through the Spirit’s work can one move from spiritual blindness to spiritual sight.
