Knowing and Known.

We are known by God. Like it or not, we are all known by God.

God knows all about us.

Luk_12:7  But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Mat 6:26  Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 
Mat 6:27  Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 
Mat 6:28  And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 
Mat 6:29  And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 
Mat 6:30  Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 

1Co 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Even as we are known-- we are known inside and out we are well known. We are known so well that everything we do is known- there is nothing we do in secret not a single thing.

Job 34:21  For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. 

Job 31:4  Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?

Psa 139:2  Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 
Psa 139:3  Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 
Psa 139:4  For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. 

Jer 23:24  Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD. 

Jer 17:10  I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 

When our Savior returns and we join Him we will know as we are known and if all of us is known, we will know all there is to know. Truly we are looking through a dark glass, and everyone knows how limited our vision is with darkness. We know so very little in the grand scheme of things. We do know enough though to teach us that salvation is found in our Lord, Jesus Christ! Knowing the salvation of the LORD is life everlasting. Everything else we learn and know is secondary to the knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord.
