Catechism for Young Children · Question 12 of 145
Does God know all things?
A.Yes; nothing can be hid from God.
What does this answer mean?
God knows all things, and nothing can be hidden from him. He knows our thoughts, our secrets and our needs before we say them. Parents can use this both as a warning against hiding sin and as a comfort that God understands what a child cannot put into words.
What can we ask our children?
- Does God know all things?
- Can you hide anything from God?
- What is something you can tell God because he already knows?
