For the mysteries of the Spirit, “which are beyond knowledge and are not apprehended either by the bodily senses nor the rational powers of the mind, God has given us a faith by which we know only that these mysteries exist.”
The Savior calls the coming of the Comforter “the gifts of the revelation of the mysteries of the Spirit” (cf. John 14:16, 26), and it is therefore seen that the perfection of spiritual knowledge consists “in the receiving of the Spirit, as did the apostles.”
“Faith is the gateway to the mysteries. As bodily eyes see material things, so faith looks with spiritual eyes on that which is hidden.”
When a man passes through the gate of faith, God leads him into “the spiritual mysteries and opens the sea of faith to his understanding.”
St Justin Popovich
