in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart and knows all things.I try not to use the rest of the chapter in these thoughts, but this part confuses me. The surrounding verses seem to indicate that we are condemned if our heart condemns us. Yet here, it says God knows the truth and is greater than our heart.
So, how do I square this apparent contradiction? Does the heart only condemn those who are not saved, as it is the Spirit trying to open them up and let Him in? Or is the Spirit supposed to quiet our hearts if He is in, and therefore true believers will not be condemned?
