How do we know God hides Himself?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God hides Himself from some while revealing Himself to others for His divine purposes, as stated in Isaiah 45:15.

In Isaiah 45:15, it is stated 'Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself.' This highlights the dual nature of God's revelation: He conceals Himself from those who are proud and self-sufficient, while revealing Himself to the humble and broken-hearted. Jesus echoed this sentiment in Matthew 11:25, thanking the Father for hiding truths from the wise and revealing them to babes. This divine prerogative underscores the mystery of God's grace, demonstrating that salvation is an act of God's sovereignty. He chooses whom to reveal Himself to, thus reinforcing that human intellect or merit plays no role in understanding or knowing God.
