How does God know the unjust?

Answered in 1 source

God possesses complete knowledge of the unjust, including their actions and ultimate fate.

God's omniscience extends to His understanding of the unjust, as reflected in 2 Peter 2:9, where it clearly denotes that He knows how to reserve the unjust for judgment. This includes not only their outward actions but also their intentions and motivations. They may appear to prosper or make loud professions of faith, but God sees through the facade. His awareness ensures that no one escapes His justice, paralleling His knowledge of the godly. This truth compels believers to recognize the distinction between mere external appearances and true faith, resulting in a deeper reliance on God's grace for sanctification.
