How do we know God's sovereignty over the human will is true?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty is affirmed in Scripture, illustrating that spiritual life comes not from man's choice but from God's will.

The doctrine of God's sovereignty over the human will is a key aspect of Reformed theology. It is affirmed in John 1:13, which states that those who are born again are 'not of the will of man, but of God.' This explicitly indicates that spiritual life is granted according to God's choice rather than human endeavor. Furthermore, this sovereignty is vital for understanding salvation, as those whom God wills to life are enabled to come to Him in faith, asserting that man’s will operates within the bounds of divine sovereignty.
