God Knows No Sin

Perhaps the most significant thing in this paragraph is the fact that God did not answer his son when he talked about being a sinner. The Father talked about something else. This is one of the most wonderful lessons in the whole story. God does not know evil and therefore cannot talk about, or conceive it in any form. God does not even hear us, could not hear us, when we talk about sin or evil. If He could hear it, He would be conscious of it; if He could be conscious of it, he would not be wholly good. If God could know evil, then evil would be an eternal reality. But God is sinless and perfect and nothing can reflect itself in the Divine, save a perfect image. If God could know sin, He would be a sinner. It is enough to know that this cannot be.
