139 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off (Psalm 139:1-2).
God knows us. God’s knowledge of us is not cursory rather it is, total. Total knowledge is only possible by God. It is part of God’s nature to be all knowing. Total knowledge is a prerequisite to sovereignty. There is deep purpose in God knowing us; our salvation is dependent upon it. Therefore since God actually saves us based on His sovereign knowledge of us, God’s knowledge of us goes far beyond passive knowledge. We are saved because God knows us, for if God does not know us, we are in utter darkness. The good news of the gospel is that God will never deny those He knows.
