How can we describe God’s knowledge? Arthur Pink in his book
“Gleanings in the Godhead” wrote, “God is omniscient, he knows
everything; everything possible, everything actual; all events all
creatures, of the past, the present and the future. He is perfectly
acquainted with every detail in the life of every being in heaven, in
earth, and in hell . . . nothing escapes His notice, nothing can be
hidden from Him, nothing is forgotten by Him. . . He never errs, never
changes, never overlooks anything”
(pg.19). A.W. Tozer in his book The Knowledge of the Holy expands this
description by adding negatives: “God has never learned from anyone. God
cannot learn. Could God at any time or in any manner receive into his
mind knowledge that he did not possess and had not processed from
eternity, He would be imperfect and less than himself. To think of a God
who must sit at the feet of a teacher, even though that teacher be an
archangel or a seraph, is to think of someone other than the most high
God, maker of heaven and earth. . .
These are awesome thoughts that will help you stand in awe of God.
