HOW TO BE RIGHT AND FEEL RIGHT AS A CHRISTIAN
Jesse M. Hendley
Romans 5:1 & 8:1
Isn't it wonderful, friends, to be saved by God's
marvelous grace! We have been taking up the Plan of
Salvation.
We saw in Romans 5:l that being justified by faith we
have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We
learned that there on Calvary's Cross Jesus settled
the sin-question. I want to remind you again that no
one can have peace until he knows that his sin
question is settled. When we realize that ALL of our
sins, past, present and future, were dealt with by
Jesus on Calvary, then we have peace. We must have
faith in HIM. Faith is just DEPENDENCE upon the Lord
Jesus Christ. It is coming to HIM, and turning every-
thing over to Him and saying, "Now, Lord, I can't take
care of myself in life or in death or bring myself
home to Heaven. But You can. You are the only One. I
am turning myself over to You in full confidence that
You will take care of me. You loved me, You died for
me, You are living for me now." Friends, that attitude
toward the Lord will bring you peace. We tried to make
that plain.
We found also in Romans 8:1 that there is therefore
now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.
We found there is no judgment day to the child of God,
as far as the sin question is concerned, for that has
been settled.
Now we come today to the matter of feeling, how to
feel like a Christian, how to be right, how to feel
right. There is such a thing as "feeling." But we are
not saved by feelings. Peace with God does not mean
feelings. It means the removal of everything that
could hinder and hurt us in any way. But there are
feelings in this matter, and we must get our eyes on
the proper thing.
There are three things, primarily, concerning
feelings. Jot this down, if you like. I think it would
be helpful to you. First, FAITH. Faith that on
