The Process of Reflection -Victor Tarassov

Biblical reflections is the process of understating our choices that we make based on our feelings, actions, thinking, motivations, and confidence.
Lets take a look at how we have come to see it this way.

1. In Gen 3:22 God is a personal being who relates.
2. In Ps 40:7 God is a rational Being who thinks.
3. In Heb 4:15 and Eph 4:29-30 God is an emotional being who feels.
4. In 1 Cor 1:27 and Jn15:19 God is a volitional being who Chooses.
