The Bible and Human Emotions

" ‘I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy’ " (John 16:20, NKJV).      Emotions are a vital part of the human personality. They can be powerful motivators, both for good and for evil. Due to sin, we often face the adverse effects of negative emotional experiences. At times painful emotions may drive us to our knees in order to seek God as the ultimate source of help and support. At other times struggles may cause people to give up faith entirely. Join us on our first episode as we will look at Bible characters that were not immune to emotional ups and downs as well, some who succeeded in gaining control over them; others, losing control, allowed negative emotions to lead them into wrong actions.
