How do we know that God reveals truth to us?

In Luke 10:21-22, Jesus expresses gratitude to the Father for revealing truth to 'babes' while hiding it from the wise and prudent. This profound truth illustrates the sovereign grace of God in choosing whom to enlighten. The wisdom of God often contradicts worldly wisdom, and it is a divine mystery that He unveils to His people according to His purpose.

This principle continues throughout Scripture, where we see that spiritual insight is not earned through human merit but bestowed by God’s sovereign will. Paul's letters often reinforce this, stating that spiritual truths are discerned through the Spirit. Therefore, our ability to understand and embrace truth stems from God's initiative, which should invoke gratitude and awe among believers.
