What does it mean to have a heart right with God?

Answered in 1 source

Having a heart right with God means possessing genuine love and devotion to Christ, reflected in our actions and beliefs.

A heart right with God signifies a deep, sincere love for the Lord Jesus Christ that transcends mere knowledge or intellectual assent. Proverbs 4:23 instructs us to guard our hearts, as out of it flow the issues of life. This reflects the biblical understanding that true salvation is a heart transformation initiated by the Holy Spirit, as discussed in Acts 8:21 where Simon’s heart was deemed not right because it lacked true love for God. Believers must continually assess their affections and ensure that their devotion to Christ is not only in word but coupled with a heartfelt commitment to His lordship. This love must lead to bearing fruit in our lives, demonstrating the evidence of a transformed heart.
