What does the Bible say about trust in Jesus versus our feelings?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes trusting in Jesus and His Word over our feelings, as feelings can be deceptive.

In Romans 8, the Apostle Paul contrasts the mindset of the flesh with that of the Spirit, illustrating the importance of trusting God's truth over personal feelings. While emotions may fluctuate and can often muddy our understanding of reality, God's Word remains steadfast and true. We must choose to place our faith before feelings, recognizing that spiritual truths—such as our acceptance by God and the hope of resurrection—are not contingent upon our immediate emotional state but on the promises of Christ. The reality is that feelings can mislead us, but faith anchors us in the unchanging truth of God's character and His Word.
