How do we know that God can give us spiritual life?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture reveals that God alone can grant us spiritual life, as it's impossible for us to achieve it on our own.

The inability of humans to attain spiritual life is emphasized in the sermon, where it is stated, 'We cannot give ourselves spiritual life. But bless God, he can, and bless God, he does.' This fundamental belief is rooted in the doctrine of total depravity, which indicates that we are spiritually dead apart from God's gracious intervention. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, individuals are made spiritually alive, which aligns closely with passages like Ephesians 2:1-5, where we see that God makes us alive together with Christ, demonstrating that He alone is the source of our new life.
