How Do We Know What Faith or Believing Is? Is Trust A Feeling? What If You Believe for Eternal Salvation But You Don’t Want it?

December 16, 2020 Doubt, Faith, Feelings, Trust

In today’s episode, Bob and Shawn continue in their series of Q/A’s from listeners like you.

The guys are answering questions related to the terms faith, believing, and trust as well as addressing some of the pitfalls for these terms. Bob will be unpacking the common use of a three-fold definition of saving faith, usually expressed by the three terms “Understanding” “Assent” and “Trust.” They will also be answering the question about the role of our feelings when “trusting” in Jesus, and how that relates to Romans 8:16. Finally, the guys will address the issue of a believer who no longer wants to believe. Can a believer give eternal life back?

You don’t want to miss out on this important word study.
