How do we know our hearts can be assured before God?

Answered in 1 source

Our hearts can be assured before God when we know we are living in accordance with His commandments.

John asserts that assurance before God comes from knowing we are aligned with His commandments, particularly the command to believe in Jesus Christ and love one another (1 John 3:23). This alignment indicates that we are abiding in the truth and have a relationship with God that is marked by love and obedience. The assurance is not a blind belief but rather a confident reliance on the truth that God provides through the Holy Spirit. As we live out these commandments, we reassure our hearts by witnessing the fruits of faith and love in our lives, reaffirming our position before God with confidence.
