THE OMNISCIENCE OF GOD



“Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! ‘For who has known the mind of the LORD? Or who has become His counselor?’” (Romans 11:33-34)

Has it ever occurred to you that nothing has ever occurred to God?  I first heard one of our former staff pastors, Terry Hollifield, say this, and it has stuck with me.

God has all knowledge.  This is what we mean by omniscience—omni “all” and science “knowledge.”

Last week we saw that God is omnipotent—all-powerful.  Today we begin to ponder the fact that He is omniscient—all-knowing.

He knows our steps before we take them.  God knows our deeds before we do them. He knows our words before we speak them, and our thoughts before we think them.  Let’s stretch our minds by exploring this attribute of God—an exploration of a Subject that will never end—not even for eternity—as God is an infinite being!  We can know more, yet can never know all He knows,  but will still be better in the knowing of what we may know.
