How do we know that God causes us to look unto Him for salvation?

The necessity of divine intervention for salvation is foundational in Reformed theology. The Bible tells us that we are dead in trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2:1), and therefore cannot look to God for salvation on our own. It is God who gives life and opens our eyes to see Him for who He is. This is emphasized in passages like 2 Corinthians 4:6, where God shines light into our hearts, allowing us to behold the glory of Christ. Thus, our ability to respond to God’s call is entirely dependent on His grace and transformative work within us.
