In 1 John 3:20, we are told that “God is greater than our heart and knows all things.” At first, it may seem unusual that such a reminder is needed, since no one would claim their own heart is stronger than God. Yet the words are written for a reason, and they bring comfort.
Many followers of Christ know what it is like to lose peace and joy because of failure. Sin often leaves us anxious and fearful, much like Paul’s struggle in Romans 7, where he confessed that he could not always do what he desired and often did what he did not want to do. This inner conflict can lead believers into self-condemnation, where they constantly dwell on their shortcomings.
It is right to feel sorrow over sin. It should bring us to repentance. But even in those moments when we feel the weight of guilt, God sees beyond the weakness of our heart. He knows all things, and He is greater than our feelings of failure. He is greater than our heart.
Therefore there is now no condemnation at all for those who are in Christ Jesus.
