Fully Known, Never Forgotten: The Knowledge of God
What does it mean that God knows everything about you?In this episode of Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins continues the Anchoring Our Hearts in Who God Is series by examining the perfect knowledge of God. Through Psalm 139 and Hebrews 4:13, Dave explains why God’s omniscience is both deeply confronting and profoundly comforting.Nothing in our lives is hidden from the Lord. He knows every thought, motive, struggle, word, and circumstance. Yet the good news of the gospel is that God does not save His people without knowing them. He saves them while fully knowing them. Because of the finished work of Jesus Christ, believers are fully known, accepted in Christ, and never forgotten by God.Listen or Watch

Fully Known and Accepted in Christ
Being fully known by a holy and just God would be unbearable apart from grace. Every sin, hidden motive, private thought, and unseen struggle stands exposed before Him. We cannot manage how God sees us or conceal any part of our lives from His sight.But the God who knows us fully has acted in mercy through Jesus Christ. The Christian’s acceptance does not rest upon successfully hiding weakness or maintaining an image. It rests entirely upon the finished work of Christ. God will never discover something about His people that He did not already know when He saved them.You are not accepted because you are unknown. You are accepted in Christ while fully known.
Never Forgotten by God
God’s perfect knowledge also brings deep comfort to Christians who feel unseen, misunderstood, or forgotten. The Lord knows every burden carried quietly, every fear left unspoken, and every struggle unnoticed by others. He never loses sight of His people or overlooks their suffering.Even when life feels uncertain and we cannot understand what God is doing, nothing is unclear to Him. God is never surprised, confused, or uncertain. His perfect knowledge gives His people stability and enables them to trust Him completely.Listen to More Episodes
