What does the Bible say about being broken before God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that a broken heart is essential for recognizing our sinfulness and dependence on God.

Scripture emphasizes that a broken heart is a heart that has seen the Lord and acknowledges its own sinfulness. In Psalm 34:18, it states, 'The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.' This aligns with the idea that humility before God is crucial for salvation. A broken heart does not seek self-righteousness but relies entirely on the righteousness of Christ, acknowledging our inability to save ourselves.
