How do we know the doctrine of revelation is true?

The truth of the doctrine of revelation hinges on its foundation in Scripture. Paul illustrates this in Ephesians 1:17, where he prays for the spirit of wisdom and revelation so that believers might know God more fully. Revelation is not achieved through human reasoning but is a divine act revealing God's truths and mysteries. This doctrine affirms God's sovereignty, as He chooses to unveil Himself to those He has called according to His purpose, thus affirming the historic Reformed understanding of God's electing grace.
