How do we know God searches our hearts?

Answered in 1 source

God searches our hearts as a means to reveal hidden sins and spiritual condition, as stated in Psalm 139 and reiterated in Zephaniah 1:12.

God's searching of our hearts is emphasized throughout Scripture, notably in Psalm 139:1-4, where David acknowledges, 'O Lord, thou hast searched me and known me.' This reflects God's omniscience and intimate knowledge of our innermost thoughts and intentions. Zephaniah's proclamation mirrors this, indicating that God will search Jerusalem with candles, meaning that He illuminates the hidden aspects of our hearts. This searching reveals both good and evil concealed within us, calling us to confession and repentance. It serves as a powerful reminder that true worship and relationship with God require honesty about our spiritual state.
