As we wrap up our series in this sermon, which includes a live panel discussion, three concluding thoughts stick out. First, your salvation and status before God does not depend on your performance. The good news of the gospel is that our salvation is not based on what we can do but on what has been done for us through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Second, our salvation does not depend on our feelings. We are more than our emotions. You cannot trust your feelings, so you cannot base your relationship with God on feelings either. When we don’t feel the love of God, does our faith dictate our feelings, or do our feelings dictate our faith? Third, for the Christian, all of life is about growing in trust with God. When we face struggles in life, we should continue to place our trust in God and not try to control things ourselves.
