In the biblical context, "feeling" encompasses a range of human emotions and sensations, reflecting the complexity of the human experience as designed by God. The Bible acknowledges the depth and breadth of human feelings, from joy and love to sorrow and anger, and provides guidance on how to navigate these emotions in a way that honors God.

Joy and Rejoicing: Joy is a prominent theme in Scripture, often associated with the presence and blessings of God. The psalmist declares, "You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore" (Psalm 16:11). Joy is not merely a fleeting emotion but a deep-seated sense of well-being that comes from a relationship with God. The Apostle Paul exhorts believers to "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!" (Philippians 4:4), emphasizing that joy is a continual state of the heart rooted in faith.

Love and Compassion: Love is central to the Christian faith, epitomized by God's love for humanity and the command to love others. Jesus taught, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" and "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:37, 39). This love is not merely an emotion but an active commitment to the well-being of others, characterized by compassion and selflessness.

Sorrow and Mourning: The Bible does not shy away from the reality of sorrow and mourning, recognizing them as part of the human condition. Ecclesiastes notes, "There is a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance" (Ecclesiastes 3:4). Jesus Himself experienced deep sorrow, as seen in His weeping at the death of Lazarus (John 11:35). Believers are encouraged to find comfort in God's presence and promises during times of grief, as He is "the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:3).

Anger and Wrath: Anger is acknowledged in Scripture as a natural human emotion, but one that must be controlled and directed appropriately. The Apostle Paul advises, "Be angry, yet do not sin. Do not let the sun set upon your anger" (Ephesians 4:26). Righteous anger, as demonstrated by Jesus when He cleansed the temple (Matthew 21:12-13), is directed against sin and injustice. However, believers are warned against allowing anger to lead to sin or bitterness.

Fear and Anxiety: Fear is a common human experience, yet the Bible frequently encourages believers to trust in God rather than succumb to fear. Isaiah 41:10 reassures, "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Jesus also taught His followers not to worry about their lives, emphasizing God's provision and care (Matthew 6:25-34).

Peace and Contentment: The peace of God is a profound feeling that transcends circumstances, rooted in trust and faith. Jesus promised His disciples, "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid" (John 14:27). The Apostle Paul learned to be content in all situations, writing, "I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances" (Philippians 4:11).

In summary, the Bible provides a comprehensive understanding of human feelings, offering guidance on how to align them with God's will. Emotions are a gift from God, meant to be experienced and expressed in ways that reflect His character and bring glory to Him.Matthew 11:28
Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

FEELING

fel'-ing: The following varieties of meaning are to be noted:

(1) "To touch," "handle," "grope after" (mashash (Genesis 27:12, 22 Exodus 10:21; mush, Genesis 27:21 Judges 16:26; pselaphao, Acts 17:27).

(2) "To know," "understand," "experience" (bin, Psalm 58:9; yadha`, Proverbs 23:35; ginosko, Mark 5:29).

(3) "To have a fellow feeling," "to place one's self into the position of another," especially while suffering, "to have compassion" (sumpathein, Hebrews 4:15; compare 10:34; which is to be carefully distinguished from the similar verb sumpaschein, which means "to share in the same suffering with another," Romans 8:17 1 Corinthians 12:26). See Delitzsch, Commentary on Hebrews 4:15.

(4) "To feel harm," "pain," "grief," "to be sensitive" (paschein, with the roots path- and penth-, Acts 28:5); or with the negation: "to have ceased to feel," "to be apathetic," "past feeling," "callous," apelgekos, perfect participle of apalgeo (Ephesians 4:19) which describes the condition of the sinner, who by hardening his heart against moral influences is left without a sense of his high vocation, without an idea of the awfulness of sin, without reverence to God, without an appreciation of the salvation offered by Him, and without fear of His judgment.
