It is associated with the idea of enlightenment or the ability to discern truth. The term is rooted in the concept of light and brightness, suggesting a transition from darkness to understanding.
In the Berean Standard Bible, αὐγάζω is used to convey the notion of spiritual insight or revelation. This term underscores the transformative power of divine truth, illuminating the mind and heart of the believer.
