What does the Bible say about God's knowledge of the heart?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God alone knows the hearts of men, as noted in 1 Kings 8:39.

According to 1 Kings 8:39, God is the one who intimately knows the hearts of all the children of men. This verse underscores the unique divine knowledge that God possesses, highlighting that His understanding goes beyond mere observation; it penetrates to the very motives and intentions behind our actions. Furthermore, the prophet Jeremiah emphasizes this truth when he states that the heart is deceitful above all things, and it is God who searches the heart and understands it (Jeremiah 17:9-10). This understanding is crucial for repentance, as an authentic acknowledgment of our sinfulness begins with God revealing the true state of our hearts to us.
