They read it understand, and feel Gods presence within them. The fourth Christian theology source is experience (Tamara n. p). It plays a major role in building a strong Christian foundation of the upcoming and already existing Christians. They also use the human experiences to interpret Gods message and His manifestation in their lives. Experience is also related to the reason source since, the reasons that influence a Christian to trust God are almost similar to the experiences they have.
