“Feel Good Religion”

Wednesday, April 19, 2017

I was told that the Holy Spirit is not here to make us feel good.  In my limited knowledge, I believe that the Holy Spirit can make us feel good.

Sincerely,
Peppy

Dear Peppy,

The Holy Spirit came to bring us the Bible (Eph 6:17), comfort through that Word (Jhn 14:26), and salvation (Tit 3:5).  When we obey the teachings of the Bible, we enjoy the blessings of the Holy Spirit, blessings which will bring us joy and long-term happiness.  The Holy Spirit didn’t specifically come to make you feel good, but joy is a symptom of a life well-lived in the Holy Spirit’s teachings (Rom 14:17).
