I am going to reply as someone who only embraced christ and his love a few months ago.
now, my perspective may be slightly different, since I grew up in a christian home and did some decently bad things, but I believe, from what I've read, that you know just about all that is to be known, at least for now, but you just dont feel it. you don't feel the love. because you have not claimed it as your own.
Jesus' love is simply there, unending, undying, infinite, but we simply can't touch it.
I' am not going to pretend to know how to save you, or how to get you that love, I am simply going to tell you, to the best of my ability, what I experienced.
I lived for years in darkness, others on this site or if you read my older posts in teens forum, will confirm it, as I will not recall those times. I knew everything there was to know about jesus, God, salvation, even had prayed the sinners prayer, but wahat I found was that I still could not feel the love.
"oh ye of little faith"
so I am going to say that the most important part of all of this is, the sinners prayer, doesn't matter, going to church, doen;t matter, none of this matters, what matters is faith. all you need is faith like the mustard seed. I finally believed, truly believed, there was no sinners prayer, none of that, simply the realization that this whole time God had been talking to me, and this whole time, I just wasn't listening. Because, I did not have ears to hear. all it took was believing in my heart that Jesus is the lord, the one who took my place, that i AM NO LONGER GUILTY, and I was sobbing on the floor, overwhelmed by the love of Jesus, and his blood washing over me.
hey man, I'm praying for You to find that realization.
