ONLY A FOOL BELIEVES HE IS NOT ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD

Have you ever seen a parent play "peek-a-boo" with a child in a high-chair?  To the child, when the parent's face is hidden behind his hands, as far as the child is concerned, in his mind, the parent is gone.  This is even clearer when a child misbehaves, and closes his eyes thinking he can hide from his parents; "out-of-sight, out-of-mind!"  Well, a similar thing happens with adults.  Many believe that if they deny there is a God, He does not exist.  And, worst of all, when a professing Christian thinks if he drinks in a dimly lit bar, or rents an out-of-the-way motel room, he can get away with his sinful behavior.  Well, I have news for him; God sees, God hears, God knows all!  Theologians use the word "Omniscience" to describe God's ability to know everything, and God's "Omnipresence" is an additional problem for those who would try to hide their sins!  The Word is clear:



GOD'S OMNISCIENCE
*  Job 34:25 - Therefore He knows their works, and He overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
*  Psalm 1:6 - For the LORD knows the way of the righteous:  but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
*  Psalm 37:18 - The LORD knows the days of the upright:  and their inheritance shall be forever.
*  Psalm 94:11 - The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
*  Jeremiah 23:24 - Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him, says the LORD?  The Lord says, Do I not fill heaven and earth?
*  Luke 16:15 - And He said unto them, You are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts:  for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
*  1 Corinthians 3:20 - The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
*  2 Timothy 2:19 - Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal,  The Lord knows them that are His.  And, Let everyone that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
*  2 Peter 2:9 - The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.
*  1 John 3:20 - For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and He knows all things!


GOD'S OMNIPRESENCE
*  Psalm 139:7-12 - Where shall I go from Your Spirit?  Or where shall I flee from Your presence?  If I ascend up into heaven, You are there:  if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.  If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall Your hand lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.  If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.  Yes, the darkness does not hide from You; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to You.


WE SHOULD LIVE OUR LIVES AS THOUGH GOD IS PRESENT IN THE ROOM!
HE IS!
