Why do people struggle to understand spiritual truths?

Answered in 1 source

People struggle to understand spiritual truths due to their natural spiritual blindness.

According to scripture, all humanity is born spiritually blind and incapable of understanding divine truths without the intervention of the Holy Spirit (John 3:11-12). This spiritual blindness comes as a result of the fall, where sin has affected every aspect of human nature, rendering individuals unable to grasp the Gospel on their own. Furthermore, an academic or intellectual approach alone cannot illuminate spiritual realities; only through the illuminating work of the Holy Spirit can one truly understand and embrace the depth of God's Word and His plan for salvation.
