An Internal, Spiritual Teaching
Commentators emphasize that being "taught of God" is not merely external instruction, like hearing a sermon. It refers to an internal, spiritual work of the Holy Spirit that illuminates the heart. John Calvin calls it the "inward illumination of the heart," and Charles Spurgeon stresses it's a teaching to the "soul and heart," not just the mind. This divine teaching is what truly enables a person to understand and respond to the gospel.
