How do we know our heart is right with God?

Answered in 1 source

A heart right with God is characterized by genuine faith, repentance, and a desire to honor Him, as emphasized in Proverbs 23:26.

Knowing whether our heart is right with God involves self-examination and aligning our motivations with His truths. According to Proverbs 23:26, God desires our hearts, which means our faith and actions must flow from a sincere love for Him. A right heart is not merely about outward actions or doctrinal correctness but rather reflects an honest acknowledgment of our sinful condition and a longing for grace and transformation. Salvation is presented as a heart work, requiring that we submit to the Holy Spirit, who opens our hearts and renews our spirits, creating a true witness of faith and obedience within us.
