How do you respond to the statement "God is omniscient"? God knows what we say, what we think, and why we do the things we do. He has witnessed every deed of every man, woman and child, and we will each be held accountable for our lives on Earth. While this thought may fill many of us with a sense of dread and despair, it should fill us with hope. Arthur Pink says, "The infinite knowledge of God should fill us with amazement... The whole of my life stood open to His view from the beginning. He foresaw my every fall, my every sin, my every backsliding; yet, nevertheless, fixed His heart upon me. Oh, how the realization of this should bow me in wonder and worship before Him!"
God loves us regardless of our past lives. It doesn't matter who we are, or what we have done. It is true that God knows what evil things we have done, yet God still loves us. Not only does He love us, but He desires to have an intimate relationship with us. Humanity grades sin on a scale, whereas God views sin as sin. To do any sin is worthy of eternal death; still God knows we aren't perfect. That is why every commandment can be summed up in two laws; love God, and love others. God understands completely the implications of our sins will have on ourselves and others, yet He loves us. This is grace: to be all knowing, and still love us anyways. This grace is available to everyone. No exceptions
