The Bible teaches that God sees us as we truly are, knowing our hearts and intentions, and that we are inherently sinful by nature.
Scripture reveals that God has perfect vision and sees everything exactly as it is (Hebrews 4:13). He knows the hearts and thoughts of all people, and by nature, we are described as having deceitful and desperately wicked hearts (Jeremiah 17:9). Despite humanity's tendency to justify itself in its own sight, it is God's perspective that ultimately matters, showing that we are sinners in need of grace (Romans 3:23). Understanding how God sees us is essential for recognizing our need for redemption through Christ, who alone can justify us in His sight.
