The concept of predestination: Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart

Predestination exists. The Bible teaches us that to be a wise man or a prophet a predisposition from birth is needed; the prophet Jeremiah, tells us the bible, it was conceived to fulfill the eternal providence of God:
"The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
´Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.´
´Alas, Sovereign LORD,´ I said, ´I do not know how to speak; I am too young.´
But the LORD said to me, ´Do not say, ´I am too young.´ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,´ declares the LORD.
Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, ´I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.´" Jeremiah 1:4-10.

The same happened with John the Baptist and Jesus in the new testament, God fills John with the holy spirit from conception (Luke 1:13-17), and the same with Jesus: "The angel answered, ´The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God´" Luke 1:35.
This is of utmost importance, because when we speak of spirituality, we have to understand that we start from a base. Explaining the problem in another way, we fear God or not, this is a predisposition that study and preparation cannot change.
Virtue is the product of our personal effort, but spiritual gifts are a grace that we receive from on high. God with his spiritual gifts predestines us from eternity: "And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified." Romans 8:30.
