Topical Encyclopedia God's perspective, as revealed in the Bible, is the divine viewpoint that encompasses His omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence. It is the lens through which God views the world, humanity, and the unfolding of His divine plan. Understanding God's perspective is crucial for believers as it provides insight into His character, His will, and His purposes.Omniscience and Wisdom God's perspective is rooted in His omniscience. He possesses complete and perfect knowledge of all things, past, present, and future. Isaiah 46:9-10 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 God's ability to see the entirety of history and His sovereign control over it. The wisdom of God is also central to His perspective. Proverbs 3:19 states, "The LORD founded the earth by wisdom and established the heavens by understanding." God's wisdom is not only foundational to creation but also to His interactions with humanity. His perspective is always informed by perfect wisdom, ensuring that His actions and decrees are just and righteous. Omnipotence and Sovereignty God's omnipotence is another key aspect of His perspective. He is all-powerful and able to accomplish His will without hindrance. Job 42:2 affirms, "I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted." This power ensures that God's perspective is not limited by human constraints or the natural order. His sovereignty is evident in His governance of the universe. Psalm 103:19 declares, "The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all." God's perspective is one of absolute authority, where He orchestrates events according to His divine purpose and for His glory. Omnipresence and Eternality God's omnipresence means that He is present everywhere at all times. Psalm 139:7-10 beautifully captures this truth: "Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle by the farthest sea, even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast." God's perspective is not bound by spatial limitations, allowing Him to be intimately involved in the lives of His creation. God's eternality further shapes His perspective. He exists outside of time, having no beginning or end. Revelation 1:8 proclaims, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and was and is to come—the Almighty." This eternal nature allows God to see the full scope of time and history, providing a perspective that is both timeless and unchanging. Moral Perfection and Justice God's perspective is inherently moral and just. His holiness and righteousness are central to His character. Habakkuk 1:13 states, "Your eyes are too pure to look upon evil, and You cannot tolerate wrongdoing." God's perspective is one that upholds justice and righteousness, ensuring that His judgments are fair and His actions are good. His moral perfection is also evident in His love and mercy. John 3:16 reveals, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." God's perspective is one of compassion and grace, offering redemption and salvation to humanity through Jesus Christ. Purpose and Plan God's perspective is ultimately directed toward the fulfillment of His divine purpose and plan. Ephesians 1:11 explains, "In Him we were also chosen as God’s own, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything by the counsel of His will." God's perspective is one of intentionality, where every event and circumstance is woven into His grand design for creation. In summary, God's perspective is a comprehensive and perfect viewpoint that encompasses His omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, moral perfection, and eternal purpose. It is through this divine lens that God interacts with the world, guiding history and offering salvation to humanity.
