What are the feelings that dominate in a life that has been inwardly transformed to be like Christs? They are the feelings associated with “love”, “joy” and “peace”, though as we have noted, love, joy and peace are not mere feelings but conditions of the whole person that are accompanied by characteristic positive feelings.
