What role does revelation play in believing the gospel?

In the context of Isaiah 53:1, we see that belief in the gospel requires divine revelation, indicating that God must open the hearts of individuals to understand and accept Christ. As illustrated in Matthew 11:25, God often reveals His truths to the humble rather than the wise, emphasizing that faith begins when the Lord reveals Himself. This understanding aligns with Reformed thought, wherein regeneration precedes faith—one must first experience God's work in their heart before they can respond in believing trust.
