Emotions: Sinful or Sanctified by Cheryl Bell
As God uses trials to expose our sinful emotions—such as anger, fear, and depression—we have the privilege of seeing our hearts as He sees them. This is an act of kindness on His part, for once we see the sin and take responsibility for it, we can put off sinful emotions through confession. His forgiveness and cleansing changes our hearts so that we are able to obey His commands.
