How do we know that salvation is a revelation from God?

Answered in 2 sources

Salvation is a revelation from God, as affirmed in Matthew 16:17, where Jesus highlights that such knowledge is revealed by the Father.

In Matthew 16:17, Jesus tells Peter, 'Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.' This indicates that true understanding of who Christ is and the corresponding salvation comes not from human wisdom or teachings but from divine revelation. Salvation includes an understanding of Christ's work and identity that is inherently spiritual, given by God to His elect. This notion is echoed in John 6:44, which asserts that no one can come to Christ unless the Father draws him, affirming the sovereign grace aspect of salvation in Reformed theology.
