How do we know that God's sovereignty creates spiritual hunger?

Answered in 1 source

We know God's sovereignty creates spiritual hunger because spiritual thirst cannot arise from our own efforts; it is a divine work in the elect, as emphasized in John 6:35.

Scripture makes it clear that true spiritual hunger and thirst are a result of God's sovereign work within His chosen ones. In John 6:35, Jesus declares, 'I am the bread of life; he who comes to me will not hunger, and he who believes in me will never thirst.' This illustrates that the initiative for seeking God comes from Him, not from human effort. God's grace is the catalyst for creating a desire in individuals, making them aware of their spiritual need and drawing them to Him for satisfaction. Without this divine influence, there can be no genuine longing for God.
