If you feel your heart hurt when God's word is spoken to you for correction, instruction in righteousness, or reproof, you should immediately recognize that you are far from Jesus and need to turn for repentance. However, if you feel your heart being healed, relaxed, joyous, or at peace, you are moving closer to Jesus and should continue to maintain God's standard to live a Holy Life.
Must Read 2 Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work."
