How do we know that God is the only giver of life?

Acts 17:24-25 teaches that God is the Creator of the world and gives life to all things. This affirms that He is not only the source of physical life but also the one who quickens the spiritually dead. Understanding God as the sole provider of life is foundational to Reformed theology, which holds that in our natural state, we are dead in sins (Ephesians 2:1). Only through divine intervention can we be awakened to spiritual life, emphasizing the sovereignty of God in salvation and the necessity of His grace to quicken our hearts.
