The Omniscience of God


And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with who we have to do.

Hebrews 4:13

Omniscience is a fancy word for all knowing.

Our God knows everything.  He knows the past and the future.  He knows all His creation, including you and me.  His knowledge goes beyond mere acquaintance and to the very depths of our most personal selves.  He is so intimately acquainted with us that He has numbered the very hairs on our heads (Matthew 10:30).

Therefore, we understand that God’s omniscience is not that of an ogre, but that of a tender loving God who desires that we know Him as intimately as He knows us.
