This is the true God and eternal life. To be given “an understanding”; Greek dianoia: “a way to understand” means that The Logos, the Son of God is the lens through which we view life and rightly comprehend His intent. He has “given us insight”, a clear heart vision to reflect our minds upon and know “the true God and eternal life”. To have inspired comprehension. (This is the Day-star.) Psalm 119:130 The unfolding of Your words gives light, giving understanding to the simple. Paul prayed that: Ephesians 1:18 The eye of our understanding being enlightened to know the hope of His Calling, and the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. The work of the Holy Spirit is to “open our understanding”. Luke 11: 34 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. 35 Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. 36 If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light. Luke 24:32 Did not our hearts burn within us, while He talked with us along the way, and while He opened to us the scriptures?

Ephesians 4:18 They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance in them due to the blindness of their heart. Romans 1:21 Their thinking became futile, and their senseless hearts were made dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in how many ways do we listen? The more ways we learn to listen, the more understanding we are given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 11:34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Refers to comprehension, received solely via Christ. as discussed in the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
