“For whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.” 1 John 3:20
July 24, 2026
We have all encountered certain kinds of people who behave as if they were “know-it-alls.” Only God knows everything there is to know. He knows fully, knowing everything about everything and everybody all the time. Be thankful for that especially when our own ill-informed conscience challenges our assurance of having eternal life. God is superior to our conscience “which may not acknowledge the loving deeds we have done in the power of the Holy Spirit. . . God takes everything into account, including Christ’s atoning work for us” (NKJV Study Bible). There is more. AI and all the data centers in the world are no match for God. He does not have to gain or acquire knowledge. He does not have to reason. All of God’s knowledge is always immediately and directly before His mind. God’s knowledge is infallible. What He knows is as certain as what He says. His knowledge is immutable. It does not change. He does not grow wiser. Rejoice that we do not have to depend on our own knowledge of ourselves or our feelings to have certainty about what Is true and what is false. We have God’s Word on what is true and what is not.
