This was something I was thinking about the other day and it struck me as something so wonderful about God's love.
Humans live in the third dimension meaning that we see time as moving in one direction from past to present to future. However, God as the architect of time and space lives outside all of all known dimensions. God's omniscience allows him to see everything that has ever happened and ever will happen. This means that God can also see every action we will ever commit. This includes our sins.
Most Christians, when they sin, ask for forgiveness from God. In our human minds, we plan on never committing that sin again. This is an erred way of thinking as we will keep on sinning till the day I die. The beautiful thing is that God has seen every single sin we will every commit and chose to still love us regardless.
I found that so mind blowing. God in all His love still chooses to love us even though He knows every sin that we will ever commit. And in His love, He sent Jesus down in order to die for those sins so that whenever we commit them, we will have a Mediator up in Heaven.

The Attributes of God album review
Instant classic. That's what comes to mind when I listen to this album. This has been the only album I've listened to all week. Which is saying something, because although I love shai linne, I'm usually listening to something from Reach Records.
shai linne has created what is possibly hip hop's first worship album. All 15 tracks point to the beauty and magnificence of our triune God. There is nothing here that points toward shai linne.
The album starts off with shai's wife, Blair Linne performing a piece of spoken word on the beauty of God. She talks about how no earthly beauty compares to that of God. There's a piece of a sermon toward the end which talks about how Moses worshiped God and then a short instrumental which leads into the second song "The Glory of God" which talks about how God deserves all the glory because He is the Creator of everything.
"Taste and See" speaks about God's goodness while "Our God is in the Heavens" speaks about his sovereignty. "Mercy and Grace" deals with God's mercy and grace and features an awesome guest verse by Timothy Brindle. "Lord of Patience" and "All Consuming Fire" talk about God's patience as well as his wrath, the latter being a subject that is not often dealt with in churches.
"Perfect Love" is one of the most beautiful tracks on the album and talks about how God loves mankind even though we're all sinful and want nothing to do with God. "Faithful God" and "Judge of all the Earth" deal with God's faithfulness and justice.
shai's last track is "The Omnis" which speaks on the three omnis of God; His omniscience (all knowing), His omnipresence (everywhere) and His omnipotence (can do anything). Finally Timothy Brindle does a solo track on the self sufficiency of God while the album is finished off with a remix to "Triune Praise" which talks about the different characteristics of each part of the Trinity.
All in all, this album is probably the best I've heard all year. I would recommend picking it up and listening to it all the way through. It contains a lot of doctrine and has a lot of replay value.
