In the biblical context, the heart is seen as the center of emotions and moral consciousness. The Apostle John acknowledges that believers may experience feelings of guilt or inadequacy, even when they are living in accordance with God's will. This reflects the human condition and the ongoing battle between the flesh and the spirit, as discussed in <a href="/romans/7-15.htm">Romans 7:15-25</a>. The heart's condemnation can be a result of sin, but it can also stem from an overly sensitive conscience or spiritual attack. Understanding this helps believers recognize that their feelings are not always aligned with God's truth.God is greater than our hearts This statement emphasizes God's supremacy and His ability to transcend human emotions and limitations. It reassures believers that God's judgment and understanding surpass human self-assessment. In the broader biblical narrative, God's greatness is a recurring theme, as seen in passages like <a href="/isaiah/55-8.htm">Isaiah 55:8-9</a>, which highlights the difference between God's thoughts and ways and those of humans. This phrase encourages believers to trust in God's character and His promises, rather than relying solely on their own feelings or perceptions. It also reflects the nature of God as omnipotent and omniscient, qualities that provide comfort and assurance to those who may doubt their standing before Him.and He knows all things This final phrase underscores God's omniscience, affirming that He is fully aware of every aspect of our lives, including our struggles, intentions, and the sincerity of our faith. This knowledge is not limited to external actions but extends to the deepest thoughts and motivations of the heart, as seen in <a href="/psalms/139.htm">Psalm 139:1-4</a>. The assurance that God knows all things provides comfort to believers, as it means that He understands their true intentions and the context of their actions, even when they themselves are confused or uncertain. This knowledge also implies that God is just and fair in His judgments, as He sees beyond the surface and into the heart of each individual.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/john_the_apostle.htm">John the Apostle</a> The author of the epistle, one of Jesus' original twelve disciples, known for his close relationship with Christ and his emphasis on love and truth. 2. <a href="/topical/e/early_christian_communities.htm">Early Christian Communities</a> The recipients of the letter, likely facing internal and external challenges, including false teachings and moral dilemmas. 3. <a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a> The omniscient and omnipotent being who is greater than human emotions and understanding. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_human_heart.htm">The Human Heart</a> Symbolic of the inner self, including emotions, conscience, and moral compass, which can sometimes lead to self-condemnation. 5. <a href="/topical/c/condemnation.htm">Condemnation</a> The feeling of guilt or judgment that can arise from one's conscience or heart.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_omniscience_and_omnipotence.htm">God's Omniscience and Omnipotence</a> Trust in God's greater knowledge and power over our limited understanding and emotions. <a href="/topical/f/freedom_from_self-condemnation.htm">Freedom from Self-Condemnation</a> Embrace the freedom found in Christ, knowing that God's grace and forgiveness surpass our self-judgment. <a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_conscience.htm">The Role of Conscience</a> Understand the importance of a well-informed conscience, guided by Scripture and the Holy Spirit, while recognizing its limitations. <a href="/topical/a/assurance_in_god's_love.htm">Assurance in God's Love</a> Find assurance in God's unwavering love and acceptance, even when our hearts feel guilty or condemned. <a href="/topical/l/living_in_confidence.htm">Living in Confidence</a> Live confidently in faith, knowing that God knows our true intentions and desires to guide us in righteousness.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_1_john_3.htm">Top 10 Lessons from 1 John 3</a> <a href="/q/is_god_greater_than_our_hearts.htm">Is God greater than our hearts?</a> <a href="/q/who_was_cleopatra.htm">Is God greater than our hearts?</a> <a href="/q/what_is_tenderhearted_in_eph._4_32.htm">Is it sinful for him?</a> <a href="/q/why_create_people_destined_for_hell.htm">Why would God create people knowing they would end up in Hell?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_john/3.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 20. - Our heart means our conscience, not the affections, which would be σπάγχνα (verse 17).

St. John never uses the more technical term συνείδησις, which occurs in the Acts and 1 Peter, and is very frequent in St. Paul. God is greater than our heart. It is asked whether this means that he is more merciful or more rigorous. Neither the one nor the other. It means that, although our conscience is not infallible, God is. Our hearts may be deceived; he cannot be. He knoweth all things. An awful thought for the impenitent, a blessed and encouraging thought for the penitent, He knows our sins; but he also knows our temptations, our struggles, our sorrow, and our love. <a href="/commentaries/1_john/3-20.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>If ἐὰν (ean) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1437.htm">Strong's 1437: </a> If.
