I will now shift gears and aim the spotlight on the Communicable; Moral; Eminent or Transitive; Relative; Constitutional; Positive; Active Attributes, these are the divine attributes that are true of God and in a limited way they are true of man too (for further explanation see What’s an Attribute.
Omniscience
Omniscience as many of you know means all knowing. Our God is all knowing, He is infinite in wisdom, and His omniscience is eternal and immutable, including His infinite understanding (Ps. 147:4-5).
He knows all there is to know about everything.
He has total knowledge of all things concerning Himself (Matt. 17:27; 1Cor. 2:11).
He has total knowledge of everything past, present, and future, to Him they are all the same. Everything follows it’s chronological sequence, yet God is not bound by it (Is. 46:10; Acts 15:18).
He has total knowledge of all things both possible and actual (1Sam. 23:11-12; Matt. 11:21-24).
He knows without the discovery of facts, He does not have to investigate, He knows it all (Is. 40:13-14; Rom. 11:34-36).
He has total knowledge of His own world. Duh!
He has total knowledge of His inanimate creation (Ps. 147:4).
He has total knowledge of His animal creation (Matt. 10:29).
He has total knowledge man, and man’s works (Ps. 33:13-15; Pr. 5:21).
He has total knowledge of man’s thoughts and hearts (Ps. 139:1-4).
He has total knowledge of man’s needs (Matt. 6:8).
He has total knowledge of man’s wants (Matt. 6:32).
He has total knowledge of man’s sorrows (Ex. 3:7).
He has detailed knowledge of the facts of life (Matt. 10:30).
Scriptures
For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory. (Is. 66:18)
For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes. (Jer. 16:17)
And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them. (Ez. 11:5)
Application
We will be justified (Job 23:10). Our wants are known to Him (Matt. 6:31-32). It is incentive for a Christian walk (Col. 1:10). It is the source of our wisdom (James 1:3).
There are some things that even God does not know.
Six things God does not know
1 He does not know a sin He doesn’t hate.
2 He does not know a sinner He doesn't love.
3 He does not know a better place than Heaven.
4. He does not know a more horrifying place than Hell.
5. He does not know any other way to be saved than faith alone in Christ alone.
6. He does not know a better time to get saved than now.
Stay salty,
Brother John

This is true of man in a limited way because man can and does know somethings.
