You could fill an infinite number of books with the things we don’t know. But aren’t you glad we serve a God who not only knows everything, but is the very source of all wisdom? In this episode of Clearview Today, we continue our Getting to Know God series with the omniscience of God — and the difference it makes that He knows all things, both actual and potential.
We talk about why this attribute is a little bit of both communicable and incommunicable: we’ll never be all-knowing like God, and yet He invites us to grow in real knowledge and wisdom. We unpack the crucial difference between the two — knowledge is knowing the facts; wisdom is knowing what to do next — and land on one of the most reassuring truths in the Christian life: you don’t have to know everything, you just have to know the One who does. From Psalm 139 to the “foolishness” of the cross in 1 Corinthians 1, we see that God always chooses the best goals and the best means to those goals, even when His wisdom looks like weakness to the world.
The conversation closes where real wisdom always leads — to the simple gospel, and to sharing it. The wise, Daniel says, are those who turn many to righteousness and shine like the stars forever.
