What other scriptures highlight God's omniscience and truthfulness like 2 Corinthians 11:31? Paul’s Declaration in 2 Corinthians 11:31 “The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is forever worthy of praise, knows that I am not lying.” Paul grounds his integrity in two unshakable realities: • God knows everything. • God always tells—and therefore verifies—the truth. God Knows Absolutely Everything • 1 John 3:20 — “God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.” • Psalm 147:5 — “Great is our Lord and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.” • Job 28:24 — “For He looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.” Nothing Can Be Hidden • Psalm 139:1-4 — “O LORD, You have searched me and known me… Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it.” • Hebrews 4:13 — “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” • Jeremiah 23:23-24 — “Can a man hide in secret places where I cannot see him?… Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?” declares the LORD. God Never Lies • Numbers 23:19 — “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should change His mind.” • Titus 1:2 — “…in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.” • Hebrews 6:18 — “…it is impossible for God to lie.” Let God Be True • Romans 3:4 — “Let God be true and every man a liar.” • Psalm 119:160 — “The entirety of Your word is truth, and all Your righteous judgments endure forever.” • John 17:17 — “Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.” Truth Incarnate • John 14:6 — “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life.’” • Revelation 19:11 — “…its rider is called Faithful and True.” Why These Verses Matter • God’s omniscience guarantees perfect justice; He sees motives as well as actions. • God’s truthfulness guarantees the reliability of every promise He makes. • Because God both knows all and never lies, we can anchor our integrity—just as Paul did—in His unchanging character. Daily Takeaways • Speak honestly; the One who “knows all things” is your witness. • Rest confidently; every promise in Scripture is backed by the God who “cannot lie.” • Walk openly before Him; “nothing… is hidden from His sight,” yet His truth and love remain steadfast. |
