Why is it crucial for God to discriminate in revealing Himself?

Answered in 1 source

God's discrimination in revelation emphasizes His sovereign choice and grace, showing that salvation is a gift given to those He elects.

The concept of God’s discrimination in revelation underlines His sovereign choice in whom He reveals Himself to. In Scripture, we see instances where the wise and learned are bypassed in favor of the humble and childlike, as noted in Matthew 11:25-26. This truth is profound because it stresses that no one deserves to know God on their own merit; rather, it is purely by His grace that He chooses to reveal Himself to specific individuals. This discriminating revelation serves to highlight God's authority and the equality of all humans before Him, emphasizing that all who come to know God do so not through their own seeking but by His sovereign initiative. It reminds believers to be humble and thankful for the grace that has allowed them to comprehend spiritual truths.
