God's Knowledge of Us

To say that God cannot learn is to claim an inability of God. God, as we will see later, is able to do whatever He desires—including learning.

There is one thing that God knows perfectly that humanity can only grasp at straws—God knows Himself. God has more self knowledge than any human would ever possess. God also knows a lot of minute knowledge that for others would be trivial, for instance the number of hairs on our heads (which changes every minute, for some of us). But what is minutia to us, is significant for Him because He loves us so that He desires to know every hidden, insignificant part of us. We are not, cannot, be hidden from God.

This knowledge of us would make some paranoid, as if God has some eternal security clearance that He has no right to. First of all, as God’s creation, we have no right to hide anything from Him. Secondly, the fact that we still live after the fact that He knows all of our thoughts should give us comfort. God truly is merciful. He truly is gracious. He truly does want to give us chances. He knows us inside and out and He still loves us and wants the best for us. This should not stir fear in our hearts, but comfort.
