The sixth of God’s Absolute Attributes is omniscience. God’s omniscience refers to His ability to know all things actual, possible, past, present, and future in one moment. God knows all things including one’s thoughts, actions, and words before they occur.
God knows all things possible, including every variable.
Thus, His knowledge is perfect. As well, God’s knowledge is neither learned nor acquired. It is immediate and was complete in eternity past. Hence, God knows all future events.
- O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar. You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O Lord, You know it all. You have enclosed me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot attain to it. - Psalm 139:1-6
