How do we know God's sovereignty in revelation is true?

In Matthew 11:25-27, Jesus thanks the Father for hiding truths from the wise and revealing them to babes. This distinction reflects God's sovereignty in electing to reveal His truths according to His will, rather than human wisdom or merit. 1 Corinthians 1 also reinforces this idea, emphasizing that the natural man's understanding is limited without divine revelation. This sovereignty is foundational in Reformed theology, highlighting that faith is a gift that cannot be earned or comprehended through human effort.
