God’s Emotional Life

from A Stranger in the House of God · host John Koessler

Send us Fan MailThat God does have feelings is the inevitable conclusion for anyone who takes divine self-revelation seriously. The Bible often speaks of God’s emotions. It does so in such human terms that we are sometimes disturbed by the thought. This is especially true of the three primary emotions which the Bible seems to mention in connection with God: love, anger, and jealousy. The problem is not that we can’t relate to such references but the opposite. We are all too familiar with these kinds of feelings and believe that God should rise above them.Dr. John Koessler is an award-winning writer and retired faculty emeritus of Moody Bible Institute.
