Yes! It points at David and Goliath, but this was just the beginning! Remember this: God never changes!
Right quick: Adam and Eve in the garden thought they were ‘secretly’ eating the forbidden fruit! Yet, God sees everything in Heaven and on Earth, in the Universe! Everything is of Him! God knows exactly what He Created! We re-share the following for good reason!
God’s omniscience—the theological belief that God possesses complete and infinite knowledge—means He fully knows every part of His creation, past, present, and future.
Biblical Basis for Divine Omniscience
- Complete Awareness: According to 1 John 3:20, “God knows everything and is greater than our hearts”.
- Personal Intimacy: Psalm 139:1–6 states that God knows a person’s thoughts, words, and daily activities.
- Control Over Time: In Isaiah 46:10, scripture notes that God declares “the end from the beginning,” holding authority over all historical and future events.
- Sustaining Creation: Colossians 1:17 teaches that “in him all things hold together,” meaning the physical universe functions by His continuous will and awareness.
Theological Perspectives on Creation and Knowledge
- Purpose and Intent: Mainstream Christian theology holds that creation was an intentional, purposeful act rather than an accident, and that God maintains intimate care over every creature (such as the sparrows in Luke 12:6–7).
- Free Will vs. Foreknowledge: Discussions on platforms like Reddit and Christian Stack Exchange feature mixed opinions regarding how God’s absolute foreknowledge interacts with human free will, with some arguing that free will allows genuine moral choices and others emphasizing divine sovereignty
God’s nature, character, promises, and faithfulness remain completely unchanging despite shifting circumstances.
Key Biblical Verses on God’s Unchanging Nature
- Hebrews 13:8: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever”.
- Malachi 3:6: “For I am the Lord, I do not change”.
- James 1:17: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above… with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning”.
What Stays Constant
- Character and Love: His mercy, grace, and love do not fluctuate with public opinion or culture.
- Purposes and Plans: His overarching goals and promises do not expire or fail when life turns unexpected.
- Presence: He remains a steady foundation and refuge through every season.
You know, actually each and every one of our lives is/are in God’s Presence. That means so very much!
