feeling good feelings

Hi Pastor John-

I have a question. My friend asked me why he feels the spirit of the lord when he participates in communion if it is not acceptable worship? I didn’t know how to answer that. Help please.

Thanks,
Mike G.

We feel whatever we feel in the Spirit because of faith, not because of knowledge. When your friend gains a knowledge of the truth, he will lose his faith in those dead works and feel something else instead, something more in line with the sadness God feels when He sees His people carry on such vain religious ceremonies and “feel” good feelings.
