God Knows Me

In Psalm 1 it says that the wicked and the sinner will not be able to stand on the day of judgement, but the righteous will. The question is why? and it is answered in v.6. "For" or because "the Lord knows the way of the righteous,"

Now in what sense does God know the way of the righteous, and in contrast not know the way of the wicked? Surely this is not a text that is trying to teach that God has limited knowledge (1 John 3:20). The knowing is a knowledge of a person not facts. God is unlimited is His knowledge of facts, but only a few (all believers) are known by Him.

Galatians 4:9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?

Matt 7:23 gives us another glimpse at God's knowing.
"And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.' "

God does not "know" the unrighteous in the sense that the unrighteous are not united to God in a personal loving relationship.

Therefore, the reason that the righteous will stand in the day of judgement and the unrighteous will not is the righteous are known by God because they have been connected to Him in a loving relationship, because of faith in the work of Christ on the cross.

God knows me!!! To God be the glory FOREVER!
