What does the Bible say about God's omniscience?

Answered in 22 sources

The Bible declares that God has infinite knowledge and understanding, knowing all things that happen in the world, both externally and internally.

God's omniscience is affirmed throughout the Scriptures, including passages like Psalm 147:5, which states, "Great is our Lord and of great power; his understanding is infinite." This means that God’s knowledge encompasses all that is, was, and will be. He knows every act and thought, understanding not just our outward deeds but also the intentions of our hearts (Hebrews 4:13). This omniscient quality is intrinsic to God's divine nature, confirming that nothing escapes His gaze, and assures us that He is fully aware of every detail of our existence.
