What does the Bible say about God's knowledge of His people?
Answered in 6 sources
The Bible teaches that God has an intimate, saving knowledge of His people, knowing them by name and their circumstances.
Scripture reveals that God's knowledge of His people is not general but deeply personal and intimate. In Exodus 33:17, God says to Moses, 'For thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.' This signifies a special relationship between God and His elect, emphasizing His sovereignty and grace in choosing them. Psalm 139 elaborates on God's omniscience, noting that He knows our thoughts, actions, and even our circumstances before they happen. Thus, God's knowledge is both comprehensive and a reflection of His unchanging purpose to apply grace and mercy to His chosen ones.
