56. That nothing that is done is hidden from God.
In the Wisdom of Solomon: “In every
place the eyes of God look upon the good and evil.” Also in
Jeremiah: “I am a God at hand, and not a God afar
off. If a man should be hidden in the secret place, shall I not
therefore see him? Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the
Lord.” Also
in the first of Kings: “Man looketh on the face, but God on
the heart.” Also
in the Apocalypse: “And all the churches shall know that I
am the searcher of the reins and heart; and I will give to every one of
you according to his works.” Also in the eighteenth
Psalm: “Who understands his faults? Cleanse Thou me
from my secret sins, O Lord.” Also in the second Epistle of
Paul to the Corinthians: “We must all be manifested before
the tribunal of Christ, that every one may bear again the things
which belong to his own body, according to what he hath done, whether
good or evil.”
