Zac Poonen - God Gives Revelation Only To The Humble
Summary
God grants true revelation not to the wise or intelligent, but only to those who are humble, comparing this state to that of a baby. The speaker emphasizes that while knowledge can make one feel superior, revelation humbles and requires a heart-level surrender. Ultimately, all human effort is nothing in eternity unless it is done in helpless dependence upon Jesus Christ.

God grants true revelation only to those who possess genuine humility, contrasting this with the pride often associated with intelligence or knowledge. The speaker emphasizes that while we can learn facts, divine truths require a childlike openness, mirroring the humility described in scripture. Ultimately, true spiritual life depends on a helpless dependence on Christ, as nothing apart from Him has eternal value.
