How do we know that God gives us ears to hear?

Answered in 1 source

God opens our ears to hear through the work of His Holy Spirit, enabling faith and understanding.

The assurance that God gives us ears to hear is found in the transformative work of the Holy Spirit. In Mark 7, when Jesus heals the deaf man, it represents a deeper spiritual reality: the need for God to open our ears and hearts. As Mark 7:34 indicates, Jesus said, 'Ephrathah,' meaning 'be opened,' which signifies that it is God alone who can enable us to hear His truth. Spiritual hearing and understanding are not a result of human effort; they are initiated and enabled by God's grace, echoing Romans 10:17, 'Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.'
