What does the Bible say about confidence toward God?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that we can have confidence toward God through assurance in our hearts that comes from the truth of the Gospel.

The apostle John emphasizes the importance of having confidence toward God in his first epistle. He states that if our hearts do not condemn us, we can have confidence before God (1 John 3:21). This confidence is established not in our own strength but through the assurance that arises from knowing we are loved by God and adhering to His commandments. The Gospel provides the foundation for this assurance, teaching us that our acceptance before God is anchored in His grace and the truth revealed in Christ. When we comprehend the depth of God's love, especially demonstrated in Christ's sacrificial death, we are led to respond with faith and love toward one another, reinforcing our confidence in God's promises.
