Have you ever wondered how God sees you? The reality is that God doesn't see you like man does. Man sees the outside and it's easy to cover our sin and failure. It's easy for us to appear righteous when in all actuality our hearts are far from it. God sees us as we truly are and in today's passage He makes it clear that what defiles us comes from our hearts and not from our hands.
