The salvation experience should be founded on the written word of God, not just emotional experiences. The Bible presents the timeless truth of salvation through Jesus' blood, and His word is enough for our faith.

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Leaning on the word. And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. These things I have written unto you, that believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 John 5, 11 and 13.
Our salvation does not find its basis in an emotional experience of the heart, although our emotional tendencies are God-given and not to be denied. Indeed, the salvation experience may be sweet and memorable, but all sorts of religions, non-religions, and cults have emotional experiences, like the Mormons' burning of the bosom. Experiences alone are subjective and easily misinterpreted. Our faith should be a faith from the heart, and it should be founded on the written word of God. The third verse of our hymn, My Fate Has Found a Resting Place, presents this timeless truth.
My heart is leaning on the word, the written word of God, salvation by my Savior's name, salvation through his blood. I need no other argument, I need no other plea. It is enough that Jesus died, and that He died for me. The Bible, God's Holy Word, is a book about Jesus and how God, through Jesus, deals with man. Much more could have been written.
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life through His name. neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. We were redeemed with the precious blood of Christ as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot. And this is sufficient. Nothing else needs to be done or said or paid.
Christ's blood is enough. His word tells us so. If you've enjoyed today's devotional, be sure to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts. And please rate and review so more listeners can find us. To support ICR's ministry, visit icr.org/slash donate.
