How do we know the truth about ourselves according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals that our hearts are deceitful and must be judged according to God's Word to understand our true condition.

Recognizing the truth about ourselves requires understanding our natural state as described in Scripture. According to Jeremiah 17:9, the heart is deceitful above all things, and sinners must rely on Scripture for clarity regarding their own condition. In Pilgrim's Progress, Christian articulates that right thoughts about God, ourselves, and Christ come from judging by God's Word. This teaches us that we must find our worthiness and righteousness in Christ, who alone provides the necessary merit for salvation, as stated in Ephesians 2:8-9.
