A.W. Tozer explores the three degrees of divine knowledge in his sermon 'The Knowledge of God 2', emphasizing that knowledge of God can be attained through reason, faith, and spiritual experience. He explains that nature reveals God's eternal power and Godhead, as seen in Romans 1:19-20, and that the Holy Spirit provides deeper understanding beyond what reason and faith can offer. Tozer illustrates how the natural world teaches us about God's existence, omnipotence, omniscience, and care for creation, ultimately leading to the conclusion that all creation reflects the divine. He encourages believers to recognize the theological insights nature provides while preparing to discuss the next degree of knowledge revealed through faith in the following sermon.

Thomas Brooks emphasizes that true divine knowledge brings individuals closer to God, leading to a profound sense of humility. He reflects on 1 Timothy 1:15, illustrating that as one gains clearer visions of God, they become more aware of their own shortcomings and unworthiness. This heavenly light reveals pride, ignorance, and other flaws, prompting a deeper self-examination and a lowly spirit before God. Brooks warns that knowledge that inflates self-importance ultimately leads to spiritual downfall, while genuine understanding fosters humility and communion with the divine.

John Gill expounds on the omniscience of God, emphasizing that God's knowledge is perfect, infinite, and encompasses all things—past, present, and future. He argues that God's understanding is not derived from external sources but is inherent to His nature, making Him the ultimate source of all knowledge. Gill addresses common objections to God's omniscience, asserting that nothing is hidden from Him, and highlights the implications of God's knowledge for human accountability and divine governance. He concludes that God's omniscience is essential to His perfection and is a fundamental aspect of His divine attributes.

Thomas Brooks emphasizes that saving knowledge is a transformative force that changes the soul into the likeness of Christ. He illustrates how divine light, akin to sunlight on a pearl, beautifies and molds believers, instilling in them holiness, righteousness, and humility. Brooks warns that mere intellectual knowledge is insufficient; true knowledge must lead to a profound transformation, as seen in the lives of biblical figures like Paul and Mary Magdalene. He stresses that if one's knowledge does not result in a changed life, it is ultimately worthless and will lead to torment. The sermon calls for a genuine encounter with divine light that leaves a lasting imprint of Christ on the heart.

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the importance of seeking divine knowledge, likening it to the earnest pursuit of food by the hungry or gold by the covetous. He explains that true knowledge of God is accompanied by a deep desire for more understanding and clearer visions of Him. This pursuit is characterized by diligent efforts, including prayer and inquiry, as believers yearn for the sweetness and comfort that divine knowledge brings. Just as a newborn craves nourishment, so too does a soul that has experienced God's grace long for deeper communion with Him.
