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.
