GOD has not said, feel and be saved, but believe and thou shalt be saved. Feelings never paid a man’s debts, but when he believed that another had paid them for him, he could not but feel happy. So when a person knows that God now accounts him righteous, in the way of faith, and justifies him by the blood of His Son, how can he but have peace? But it is not joy and peace before you believe; and the difference is very important. As long as a person is looking at his feelings, and looking for feelings, he cannot find peace; but when he looks to Christ, and believes what God says, he has peace with God.
