I don't put much stock in the emotional element of Christian experience. It comes and goes but knowledge of the gospel, the truth of Christ Jesus remains the same regardless how I feel. A man is saved by believing the truth, not feeling the truth. I understand with my mind and believe with my mind and what I believe doesn't change. <br /><br />Has anyone studied or read PS 119 lately? Or how about Proverbs? Here's a quote from 2 Peter, "...seeing His divine power has granted us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence." Is life and godliness a feeling? Also, I find Paul saying a number of times, "I would not have you ignorant brethern..." In another place it's written that God's people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. And Jesus said if you love me you will keep my commandments. Love, therefore, by definition is the keeping of God's commandments. Do we feel His commandments or understand and do them? You brought up a good point KG and I hope others join in on this one.NFIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06837450887335960603noreply@blogger.com
