How do we know God is good to those with a clean heart?

The goodness of God towards those with a clean heart is a continuous theme in Scripture. As outlined in Psalm 73, the psalmist reflects on his experiences and realizes that God's goodness isn’t just a doctrine—it's a lived reality for the believer. In 1 Peter 2:3, believers are encouraged to 'taste and see that the Lord is good,' which implies that experiencing God's goodness is tied to a transformative relationship with Him. It is God who cleanses the heart through the sacrifice of Christ, making the believer's profession of faith genuine and their experience of His goodness a verifiable truth.
