God knows the secrets of our hearts.

 

94. God knows the secrets of our hearts, God knows our thoughts, God knows everything: In the bible and the Bahá’í Faith we are told that God is the all knowing:  CHRISTIANITY: 1 John: 3:20 “God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.”  Therefore, if God is the all knowing it only stands to reason that God knows the secrets of our hearts and thoughts. Romans: 8:27 “And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit,” He is all knowing!  JUDAISM: 1 Kings: 8:39 “Then hear Thou in heaven Thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; for Thou, even Thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;”  Psalms: 44:21 “Shall not God search this out? for He knoweth the secrets of the heart.” 1 Chronicles: 28:9 “And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for The LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek Him, He will be found of thee; but if thou forsake Him, He will cast thee off for ever.” 2 Chronicles: 6:30 “Then hear Thou from heaven Thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart Thou knowest; for Thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:”  CHRISTIANITY: Luke: 16:15 “And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.” God knows the secrets and mysteries in our hearts. This is clearly indicated in the bible. 1 John: 3:18 “Children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” 3:19 “And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. 3:20 “For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.” Acts: 1:24 “And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two Thou hast chosen,” It is also clearly indicated in the Bahá’í Faith, as-well-as, the other major God fearing religions on this earth, that God is the all knowing and therefore, knows the secrets of our thoughts and hearts; once again, demonstrating that all the religions of God have all their roots coming to mankind from the same source; the one and only Almighty Father and God of heavenly glories.
