All religionists, including Christians will answer: "Everything, including the ability to reason, comes from God."
IMHO--In my humble opinion the short answer to your question is GØD, or G0D. Not to be confused with, gods or God.
I repeat, and none of this is dogma, just my opinion: Rather than the noun, God, I prefer using the acronym, GOD, or GØD--standing for the Goodness, Order and Desirable Design possible in all things.
Our ancient ancestors, including Jesus thought of 'God' as Pneuma--the very air we breathe, the Greek for "breath", which metaphorically describes a non-material being, or influence.
From it we get words like pneumatic and pneumonia. The ancients equated air, wind and breath--a mystery to them--with the gods, or God.
Now, in the spirit of dialogue, you are all free to give your opinion.
