What does the Bible say about the omniscience of God?

Answered in 5 sources

The Bible teaches that God's omniscience means He knows all things, including the hearts of men and the realities of hell and destruction (Proverbs 15:11).

The omniscience of God is a profound theological concept that asserts that God is all-knowing. As articulated in Proverbs 15:11, hell and destruction are laid before the Lord, emphasizing His absolute knowledge of everything, including the hearts of the children of men. This means that no thought, intention, or circumstance is hidden from Him. His omniscience is crucial because it reminds us of His sovereignty and authority over all creation, including human hearts and destinies.

Furthermore, Scripture indicates that God's knowledge extends beyond the present; He is aware of all things past, present, and future. This complete understanding is evident in His judgments and in the way He orders the affairs of the world. The reality of hell and destruction, as God's omniscient gaze encompasses these realities, serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of sin and rebellion against Him. Through His omniscience, God provides a foundation for hope and assurance for those who trust in Him and recognize their need for His mercy.
