God possesses full omniscience and therefore is not susceptible to any form of surprise. His knowledge extends from the beginning to the end, encompassing every event throughout history and mankind's choices, regardless of the past, present, or future. Even man's inclination towards sin does not catch God off guard, as His all-knowing nature entails a comprehensive understanding of every intricate aspect. He is not merely aware of certain matters, but rather possesses an intimate knowledge of every minute detail, down to the very essence of existence.If God possesses the ability to comprehend our thoughts even before we conceive them, it follows that He is also aware of the anguish we experience through these thoughts. Furthermore, if there exists a way for us to endure such pain, be it through our habits, the people we associate with, or circumstances beyond our control, then all these interconnections have an impact on our state of suffering. However, due to the sacrifice and redemption accomplished by Christ on the cross, wherein He took on the weight of our transgressions, their consequences, and the associated anguish, He not only forgives our sins but also bears our burdens and advocates on our behalf. Through this remarkable act, He becomes our source of confidence, actively working to alleviate our pain for His own glory and our ultimate benefit. On the contrary, those who do not partake in His favor find themselves submerged in their own sins and the repercussions thereof, lacking the means to rectify the consequences of their transgressions and face judgment. Consequently, we find ourselves embraced by His favor and mercy in every aspect of our lives, free from condemnation through our union with Christ Jesus.
