Feelings - Truth in Love Ministry

Dictionary of Mormonese

Feelings

Mormons often look to feelings as confirmation of truth. They believe the Holy Ghost communicates primarily through inner impressions such as peace, warmth, or a “burning in the bosom” (Doctrine and Covenants 9:8). Because of this, testimonies frequently include statements like, “I know it’s true because I feel it.”

This emphasis on feelings shapes how many Mormons approach questions of truth, guidance, and spiritual assurance. Personal feelings are viewed as evidence that God has spoken, making them a central part of LDS religious experience.
