How do we know spiritual life is given by God?

Answered in 2 sources

Spiritual life is imparted by God through His sovereign grace, as indicated in Ephesians 2:1.

The Bible indicates that spiritual life is a gift from God, also termed as 'quickening'. Ephesians 2:1 asserts that God has quickened believers who were spiritually dead. This quickening is reflective of Christ's resurrection, signifying that just as He was risen, believers are given new spiritual life through Him. This is not a natural experience but a supernatural act of grace from God, demonstrating His sovereignty over spiritual regeneration as He grants life to those whom He has chosen before the foundation of the world.
