'Hearts' in the Bible

If we claim to be already free from sin, we lead ourselves astray and the truth has no place in our hearts.

If we deny that we have sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Message has no place in our hearts.

I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and God's Message still has a place in your hearts, and you have overcome the Evil one.

As for you, let the teaching which you have received from the very beginning continue in your hearts. If that teaching does continue in your hearts, you also will continue to be in union with the Son and with the Father.

in whatever matters our hearts condemn us--because God is greater than our hearts and knows everything.

Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have perfect confidence towards God;

No one has ever yet seen God. If we love one another, God continues in union with us, and His love in all its perfection is in our hearts.
