How do we know spiritual understanding is a gift from God?

Answered in 1 source

Spiritual understanding is revealed in the scriptures, notably in Matthew 11:25, where Jesus explains that such understanding is given by the Father.

Jesus affirmed in Matthew 11:25 that understanding divine truths is a gift from God when He said, 'I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.' This declaration shows that it is God’s sovereign choice who receives enlightenment. The Apostle Paul echoes this in Ephesians 1:17, where he prays for believers to receive wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. This asserts the doctrine that understanding spiritual matters is solely through God's initiative, summarizing the biblical stance that no human endeavor can unveil God's truths without His divine assistance.
