Why is faith important in seeing spiritual truths?

According to the sermon, faith serves as the lens through which one can see and understand the things of God. The illustration of Elijah praying for his servant’s understanding illustrates that spiritual sight is granted through faith, which comes from God (Romans 10:17). The preacher emphasizes that our confidence as believers relies on this God-given faith, allowing us to trust in the promises of Scripture and see the reality of salvation and God’s sovereignty at work in our lives. This aligns with Reformed theology's assertion of faith as God's gift to His elect.
