The gospels show many cases of those who wished to understand rather than obey. Jesus had scathing words for them. -Elisabeth Elliot
If you want your faith as a Christian to grow stronger, you obey God's commands. It's that simple. You don't seek "experiences" or "spiritual highs." Feelings are fickle. You might love someone one day and hate them the next. Faith is built by obeying God's Word. God's Word is a firm, unwavering foundation that can get us keep our footing through emotional ups and downs.
Faith = Acting in Obedience
Spiritual Feelings ≠ Faith
