1588. One in Omniscience

One in Omniscience

"Known unto God are all His works from the beginning of the world" (Act_15:18).

1. God Is Omniscient

"Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of" (Mat_6:8).

"O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!" (Rom_11:33).

There is no one who would doubt that God knoweth all things. The Creator must comprehend the work of His fingers; everything in nature as well as everything in man, assures us of the unfathomable and incomprehensible wisdom and knowledge of the Most High God. Such knowledge is altogether beyond man, he cannot attain unto it.

2. The Son Is Omniscient

"Lord, thou knowest all things" (Joh_21:17).

"In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Col_2:3).

Jesus Christ could easily say that whatsoever things the Father knew, He knew also. If He was from the beginning, with the Father, and all things were naked and open to Him as well as to the Father; we need not doubt but that He knew all things. In this statement we do not mean that the Lord Jesus Christ, as man, was in no sense curtailed in His knowledge; for He grew and increased in wisdom day by day. Yet, the Lord Jesus Christ, even on earth, knew what was in the hearts of men: He knew things to come; He knew all things. It must be agreed that only Deity can and does know, in the sense of omniscience. Christ then was God.

3. The Spirit Is Omniscient

"The Spirit searcheth all things" (1Co_2:10).

"The Spirit of wisdom * * in the knowledge of him" (Eph_1:17).

The Spirit of God is equal with the Father and with the Son in wisdom and in knowledge, He is called "the Spirit of Wisdom."

The tragedy today is that men feel that they must think for themselves, apart from the Spirit. The result is that men are wandering in a maze of uncertainty–they know not whither they go.

When the omniscient Spirit is set aside and men walk in the wisdom of the flesh they cannot do other than stumble.

"The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: * * neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."

When the child of God is taught of the Spirit, he may know all things, yea the deep things of God, for the Spirit revealeth them.

Once again we assert that Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one God, because they, alike, are omniscient.
