A heart right with God is evidenced by humility, repentance, and a recognition of one's complete need for His grace.
To assess the condition of our hearts before God, it is essential to look for signs of true humility and dependence on His grace. In Acts 8, Simon's attempt to buy the gift of the Holy Spirit revealed that his heart was not right with God. A heart aligned with God's will acknowledges its own sinfulness and inability to earn favor through works or possessions. Scriptures such as Romans 7:18 assert that in our flesh dwells no good thing, urging believers to rely on God's work in them. Therefore, a heart that recognizes its depravity and clings to Christ's righteousness demonstrates an authentic relationship with God.
