How do we know that heart worship is important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Heart worship is crucial because God desires sincerity over mere ritualistic practices.

Heart worship is vital because God looks at our hearts, not just our outward actions. As stated in 1 Samuel 16:7, the LORD sees not as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart. The absence of true heart worship makes all outward religious practices vain, as demonstrated in Isaiah 1, where God calls Israel's sacrifices meaningless when not offered in faith. True worship involves faith in Christ, relying on His righteousness and acknowledging our own sinfulness, which leads to genuine gratitude and worship.
