What does the Bible say about God dwelling in broken hearts?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God dwells in the hearts of those who are humble and contrite in spirit, not in physical structures.

According to Isaiah 66:1-2, God explicitly reveals that He does not dwell in temples made by human hands, but rather in the hearts of those who are poor and of a contrite spirit. This principle underscores that God's presence and pleasure are found in the nature of humility and brokenness. As Jesus indicates in John 4:24, true worshippers worship God in spirit and truth, emphasizing that worship is an inward reality rather than an outward ritual. The Scriptures direct us to seek a relationship with God that is based on sincerity and humility rather than physical monuments.
