What the New Testament Says About the Attributes of God预览

Would you trust a leader if they were all-knowing? That idea would make most of us feel uncomfortable because with more knowledge comes more power. Honestly, there have been too many situations where human leaders have ended up abusing the growing knowledge and power they obtained.

But what if someone with ultimate knowledge also cared for you deeply? Let’s call that person all caring. Now it starts to be comforting to us to think of such a person—someone who not only knows it all but also cares for us deeply with that unlimited knowledge. Let’s face it: Life is full of unknowns, so a person like that could be of great help to us in the lives that we walk.

God is never limited in His knowledge. Let that sink in. The past, the present, and the future are fully clear to Him, and He knows how they work together. That is “God status” for sure! His knowledge is the polar opposite of the extremely limited knowledge we as humans have. But He is not only all-knowing; He is also all-caring at the same time.

In Matthew 10, we hear Jesus breaking down a bleak picture of the chaotic circumstances that His followers will live in. Poverty, hate, political injustice, family betrayal, and even martyrdom are just a few experiences in the tough list of hard times they will face. Yet, in Matthew 10:28-3, we can see how God’s unlimited knowledge and all-caring nature combine to give us a solid reason to trust in Him. Be secure in the truth that He not only knows every chaotic detail of your life but also values and loves you deeply and can be trusted to carry you through the chaos of the unknowns.
