What does the Bible say about how God sees the heart?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God looks at the heart rather than outward appearances (1 Samuel 16:7).

According to 1 Samuel 16:7, God does not judge based on outward appearances; instead, He examines the heart. This verse highlights the profound truth that human beings often rely on superficial judgments, while God possesses the omniscience to perceive our true character and intentions. In contrast to men, who see only the surface, God sees the full reality of a person’s inner life and motivations. This understanding emphasizes the importance of being genuine and reflective, as ultimately, it is not our external actions that define us, but the condition of our hearts that God evaluates.
