What does the Bible say about the hearts of people?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God looks at the heart, while humans can only see outward appearances.

In 1 Samuel 16:7, the Lord explains to Samuel that He does not judge by outward appearances but by the heart. This principle is vital for understanding how God perceives individuals, as He knows their true motives and intentions, which is beyond human capability. Psalm 147:10-11 also reinforces this by stating that God delights in those who fear Him and hope in His mercy, emphasizing that mere outward appearances are insufficient for a relationship with Him.
