What does the Bible say about God seeing the heart?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that while man looks at outward appearances, God sees the heart (1 Samuel 16:7).

According to 1 Samuel 16:7, God does not see as man sees; rather, He looks at the heart. This highlights the difference between human judgment, which often relies on external appearances, and divine judgment, which penetrates to the inner motivations and condition of a person's heart. This is significant because God’s perspective reveals what is truly important and valuable, unlike our often prejudiced views. In Psalm 11:4, it's affirmed that God’s eyes behold all; they are not limited by mere appearances but are fully aware of our true selves.
