Title: God knows everything about everything'


1
The Omniscience of God
  • God knows everything about everything.

2
Omniscience
  • Gods omniscience involves not only Gods
    knowledge of us but also His knowledge of nature,
    the past, present and future. It involves
    everything that we would possibly imagine and
    much more besides. It is a knowledge that God
    has always had and will always have.
  • - James Montgomery Boice

3
God's omniscience is INTUITIVE
  • Isaiah 4013-14 (pg. 763)
  • Job 382-7 (pg. 561)
  • Thomas Watson Gods knowledge is primary, for
    He is the pattern and source of all knowledge
    from which others merely borrow.
  • Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance
    come from your mouth for the LORD is a God of
    knowledge and by him actions are weighed, (1
    Samuel 23, ESV).

4
God's omniscience is COMPREHENSIVE
  • Psalm 1475 (pg. 667) and Hebrews 413 (pg. 1278)
  • Little children, let us not love in word or
    talk but in deed and in truth. By this we shall
    know that we are of the truth and reassure our
    heart before him, for whenever our heart condemns
    us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows
    everything, (1 John 318-20, ESV).
  • He determines the number of the stars he gives
    to all of them their names, (Psalm 1474, ESV).

5
God's omniscience is COMPREHENSIVE
  • keeps watch on the evil and the good, (Proverbs
    153, ESV).
  • You have set our iniquities before you, our
    secret sins in light of your presence, (Psalm
    908, ESV)
  • In the divine omniscience we see set forth
    against each other the terror and fascination of
    the Godhead. That God knows each person through
    and through can be a cause of shaking fear to the
    man who has something to hide some unforsaken
    sin, some secret crime committed against man or
    God. A.W. Tozer
  • Matthew 1121-24 (pg. 1037)

6
God's omniscience is PERSONAL
  • Psalm 1391-6, 13-18 (pg. 662)
  • But he knows the way that I take when he has
    tried me, I shall come out as gold, (Job 2310,
    ESV).
  • As a father shows compassion to his children,
    so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear
    him. For he knows our frame he remembers that
    we are dust, (Psalm 10313-14, ESV).
  • You have kept count of my tossings put my
    tears in your bottle. Are they not in your
    book, (Psalm 568, ESV)?

7
God's knowledge is PURPOSEFUL
  • In Salvation
  • Ephesians 14-6 (pg. 1241)
  • Two Extremes (Hyper-Calvinism Arminianism)
  • Two things to remember (Gods desire Gods
    provision)
  • God desires all people to be saved and to come
    to the knowledge of the truth, (1 Timothy 24,
    ESV).
  • The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as
    some count slowness, but is patient toward you,
    not wishing that any should perish, but that all
    should reach repentance, (2 Peter 39, ESV).
  • But we see him who for a little while was made
    lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with
    glory and honor because of the suffering of
    death, so that by the grace of God he might taste
    death for everyone, (Hebrews 29, ESV).

8
God's knowledge is PURPOSEFUL
  • In relation to daily living
  • Luke 2231-34 (pg. 1122)
  • Consequently, he is able to save to the
    uttermost those who draw near to God through him,
    since he always lives to make intercession for
    them, (Hebrews 725, ESV).

9
Things to be thankful for.
  • He knows the worst about us. Yet He loves us and
    saved us.
  • He knows the best about us, even thought that
    best may be unknown to any other person.
  • He knows what He is going to make of us.

10
Things to be mindful of
  • Since God is a God of knowledge, we should learn
    the importance of knowledge.
  • Hypocrisy is foolishness.
  • We can be encouraged in difficulties.
  • What will you do with the God who knows
    everything about everything?
