Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

(HEBREWS 12:2)

It is not true faith to trust Christ only when you feel you are saved.  True faith is to trust Christ at all times, whether you feel like you are saved or not; when you have a deep consciousness of your sin and when you don’t; when you have assurance of faith and when your faith is so weak you wonder if you have faith at all. A person is not saved because he feels saved nor because he is aware of his sinfulness. A person is saved when he trusts Christ—His blood for redemption and forgiveness of sin, His righteousness for acceptance with God; when he commits all to Him as the “Author and finisher of faith” (HEBREWS 12:2). Our feelings may change by the hour, but our salvation is not dependent on our feelings; it is dependent solely on Him who never changes—“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” (HEBREWS 13:8)
