The Trinity: Each Person In, Described as Omniscient
Jump to: Torrey'sLibrarySubtopicsTerms
Topical Encyclopedia
The doctrine of the Trinity is a foundational element of Christian theology, affirming that God exists as three distinct Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—who are co-equal, co-eternal, and consubstantial. Each Person of the Trinity is described as possessing the attribute of omniscience, meaning they have complete and infinite knowledge.

God the Father: Omniscient

The omniscience of God the Father is a well-established concept in Scripture. He is depicted as having perfect knowledge of all things, past, present, and future. In Isaiah 46:9-10 , God declares, "Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all My purpose.’" This passage highlights the Father's ability to know and declare future events, underscoring His omniscience.

God the Son: Omniscient

Jesus Christ, the Son, is also described as omniscient. During His earthly ministry, Jesus demonstrated knowledge that only God could possess. In John 2:24-25 , it is written, "But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew all men. He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man." This insight into the hearts and minds of individuals reveals His divine knowledge. Furthermore, in John 21:17 , Peter acknowledges Jesus' omniscience by saying, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." This confession affirms the belief that Jesus, as God the Son, possesses complete knowledge.

God the Holy Spirit: Omniscient

The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, is also described as omniscient. The Spirit's role in revealing divine truth and wisdom is evident throughout Scripture. In 1 Corinthians 2:10-11 , Paul writes, "But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God." This passage illustrates the Spirit's comprehensive knowledge of God's thoughts and intentions, affirming His omniscience.

In summary, the doctrine of the Trinity presents each Person—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—as fully omniscient, possessing complete and perfect knowledge. This attribute is essential to understanding the nature of the triune God as revealed in the Bible.
