In the last years of his life [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while exiled on the island of Patmos, the apostle John had a vision in which Jesus Christ told him things that God had spoken concerning future events (Revelation 1:1). God said, “I see right through your work. You have a reputation for vigor and zest, but you're dead, stone-dead." (Revelation 3:1, The Message)
Christians believe that God created the heavens and the earth and everything in them, including people. As creator, God is said to be intimately aware of each person’s strengths and weaknesses, words, behaviors and thoughts. As Adam and Eve discovered in the Garden of Eden after they had eaten the forbidden fruit [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], many believers feel it is impossible to hide from God.
Scriptures Tell of God’s Knowledge of Specific People
The prophet Isaiah warned his people that they couldn’t hide from God because God knew their thoughts and plans just as a potter knows his or her clay. (Isaiah 29:15-16)
God told Jonah to go to Nineveh to warn the people that unless they turned from their sins, they would be destroyed. But, Jonah didn’t want to do as he had been told, so he traveled in the opposite direction and tried to run away from God. It didn’t take long for Jonah to discover it was impossible. (Jonah 1:1-10)

John Wesley's Doctrine of Christian Perfection
The Psalms
God's "all knowing" nature didn't apply to only David and Isaiah; it's thought to apply to every Christian. The prophet Jeremiah wrote, “Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I had holy plans for you: A prophet to the nations — that's what I had in mind for you." (Jeremiah 1:5, The Message)
Many Bible stories describe King David as a great man of God. He wrote most of the Psalms and in Psalm 139 he talked about how God knows him, “God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand. I'm an open book to you; even from a distance, you know what I'm thinking." (Psalm 139:1-6, The Message)
