I don't remember how it's said, whether belief is a gift or a grace from God, but you are right about how sinners just can't see.

It's one thing to read that or hear it said, but now that I've experienced it, I finally understand what had previously made no sense to me whatsoever.

Now, I say, "Thank you, Jesus! When I asked You with an open heart, You and Your Holy Spirit helped me to understand."

Please know that ^^this^^ is a profound change within me and I truly do mean "within" me.

Now older but ever the prodigal child, I just hope I don't turn that switch off again as I've been prone to do.

Satan's a tricky dealer who delights in getting us to let our egos play and bet it all on a bad hand.

Ephesians 2:8 King James Version (KJV)

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Grace is and unmerited gift from God.
