Spiritual Blindness and the Role of the Holy Spirit

Let's explore a profound truth found in God's Word: the reality of spiritual blindness and the illuminating work of the Holy Spirit. Many wonder why some people cannot see what seems so obvious to those who are filled with God's Spirit. Let's delve into Scripture to understand why this is so, drawing wisdom from the New King James Version of the Bible.

1. 1 Corinthians 2:14

"But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."

2. John 14:17

"The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you."

3. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4

"But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them."

4. Ephesians 4:18

"Having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart."

5. John 3:19-20

"And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed."

6. 1 John 2:11

"But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes."

7. Romans 8:7

"Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be."

8. Matthew 13:13

"Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand."

9. Acts 26:18

"To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me."

10. 1 Corinthians 1:18

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
