How do we know our spiritual life is dependent on God?

Answered in 1 source

We know our spiritual life is dependent on God as we cannot produce faith or understanding without His divine intervention.

Deuteronomy 29 illustrates how the Israelites witnessed God's miracles yet remained spiritually blind. Just as they required God to open their eyes and ears, we are entirely dependent on Him for spiritual life. We do not possess the ability to generate faith within ourselves; it is God who must give us life, a new heart, and understanding. Scripture such as Proverbs 20:12 further underscores this truth, affirming that 'the hearing ear and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.' Without God's initiative, we remain spiritually dead, unable to respond to the gospel.
