Hi, this is John.
And today on Theocast, we are going to be tackling emotions, affections, and feelings as it relates to your assurance in Jesus Christ.
A very prominent evangelical recently said to define saving faith apart from feelings is futile.
That's a pretty strong statement, and we're going to try and do our best to look at scripture, history, and the confessions and answer the question: do we find assurance based upon our feelings, or is our security in Christ
more than a feeling?
We hope you enjoy.
