Category: God’s Omniscience

Jeremiah 23:23-24 (NKJV) 23 “Am I a God near at hand,” says the Lord, “And not a God afar off? 24 Can anyone hide himself in secret places, So I shall not see him?” says the Lord; “Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the Lord.

He knows all things. He is Omniscient!

What does that mean? It means having complete or unlimited knowledge, awareness, or understanding; perceiving all things.

We may be in denial of some things we have done in the past, or maybe even today. We can try to block it out and forget it all, but until we face it and acknowledge it as truth, we are not fooling anyone but ourselves.

How do we fix such error?

We stop trying to hide or sneak around. It’s doing more harm than good. Face it, and get right with God. He will embrace you as you begin to open up and let it go. Repent and move on. Make sure our slate is clean every day.

2 Corinthians 5:10 (NKJV) 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

Remember, God already knows. He is waiting for us to make it right. If we don’t, it all comes out in the end.

God will be merciful and forgiving toward us all, even if we have many sins. He will forgive every one of them.

When we fall in love with Him, we will want to rid ourselves of anything that reminds us of everything we did that was unclean or against Him.

Luke 7:47 (NKJV) 47 Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”

John 1:11-12 (NKJV) 11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

God came to earth as a man, in the form of Jesus Christ, the Son.

He came down to the very earth that He created (the first use of “His own”), to the people He called His own (the second use of “His own”, the Jewish people), only to be rejected by them.

We may look at this and be shocked.

How could anyone reject the very One who made them? Wouldn’t that crush Him?

But here’s the thing; God knew in advance what would happen. He knew that He would be rejected. He knew His people were a stiff-necked people.

So, what did He do?

He went to those who would receive Him and embrace Him, and He offered them life; new life in Him.

To those who received Him and believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.

He gave them (us) the opportunity for forgiveness, redemption from their sins and the hope of eternal life.

God is never caught off guard. He is never without understanding. And He is never without foresight or understanding.

We may sometimes think of this as God’s alternate plan; a plan to make up for the failure of His first plan. But God knew all along that He would eventually reach out to the gentiles.

He didn’t pick us as a second people, aside or in addition to His “original people”. Instead, He grafted us into the vine, making us his very own (Romans 11:17-24).

For this we need to be careful to be thankful, that He saw fit to include us as His own and graft us into the vine, that because we receive Him and believe in Him, we have the right to be called children of God.
