What If You Don’t Feel Saved? Plus More Q&A
Are strong emotional experiences required for salvation? Can you be a true follower of Jesus if you don’t “feel” saved? Many Christians wrestle with the gap between what they believe and what they experience during worship or Bible study time . But does the saving grace of Jesus come from a feeling or a decision?
This week, Frank unpacks the danger of grounding your faith solely on feelings. He also tackles other listener questions related to politics, culture, and from a liberal listener on parenting in a digital age. Questions addressed include:
- Is a lack of emotion during worship a sign of a weak faith?
- What are the 3 essential aspects of human psychology?
- How is marriage in this life an illustration of our ultimate union with Christ?
- What’s the difference between “belief that” and “belief in”?
- Did Jesus tell us to stay out of politics?
- Are only atheists qualified to run the government?
- Why didn’t God stop Satan?
- How can parents effectively shield their children from harmful content on social media?
- What does dangerous online content teach us about human nature?
