What if I told you that there are four things that God doesn’t know! Wait, don’t stop reading, let me make my case and I think you will agree and maybe get happy about it.
The first thing that God doesn’t know is: God doesn’t know a sin that he does not hate. I know hate is a strong word, but God hates sin because sin is what separates man, those who are created in his image, from himself. God and man had perfect fellowship in the garden until the snake slithered in. His first weapon was to sow doubt about God in man’s mind claiming that God’s word was and is not trustworthy. Those immortal words were uttered, “Has God really said you shall not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil?” Yes, God really said, and he meant it but man did not believe it, so sinned entered and with it came it’s wages-death. Sin is all rebellion against a loving God, and yes, God hates it.
Second, while God hates sin, God doesn’t know a sinner that he does not love. John 3:16 declares that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that whosoever believes in him would not perish but have everlasting life. The incredible redemption story was centered in the fact that God incarnate became a man to pay for every sin every sinner every committed. Why? Simple God is love and love always gives. God gave the ultimate gift- he gave his own son to take our place on the cross at Calvary. Which leads us to the third thing that God doesn’t know.
