How do we know that God's hand was on John the Baptist?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that God's hand was upon John from his birth, which sanctified and equipped him for his future ministry.

Luke 1:66 states, 'the hand of the Lord was with him,' signifying God's presence and favor in John's life. From the moment of his conception, John was filled with the Holy Spirit, indicating God's specific purpose for him. This divine support is a theme throughout the Scriptures, reflecting not only God’s sovereignty over individuals but also His active guidance in their lives. John's role as a forerunner to Christ necessitated strong preparation and empowerment, which God provided abundantly. As believers, we are reminded to seek and desire this same divine oversight for ourselves and our children.
