Subject: The Problem with WoF in a nutshell |
Bible Note: Hello, Darcy -- You're likely aware of it already, but you received some bad advice tonight from another forum user, albeit I'm convinced this user gave it with all good intentions. The advice was: "You must do it as you feel God is leading you." The fatal flaw in this advice lies in the word "feel." Christians are not instructed in the word of God to rely on their feelings. What a Christian "feels" he should do is not the same thing as obeying what God commands him through His word to do. Man does not "feel" his way to justification; he does not "feel" his way to sanctification. God by His grace justifies. The Holy Spirit by His indwelling sanctifies. And the regenerate believer is taught by the revealed word of God to know what the will of God is. God does not leave His children at the mercy of their feelings. --Hank |
