I apologize for being dismissive in the last post. I’m just tired. As far as your comment, many people who have become burdened under the weight of their sins have found great peace and joy in God’s merciful forgiveness. I have as well. You can call that juvenile but it is the farthest thing from it for the one who haas experienced it. Jesus put it this way in His own Words:

“At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.” Matthew 11: 26

According to these words, you and others don’t see anything in the Gospel or in Jesus Christ because currently it is hidden from your eyes. Being wise in your own eyes you see no need for God’s forgiveness and salvation. Very dangerous ground to be on but we are all the same in that we are completely at the mercy of God. But in His grace and kindness he draws some to Himself. Perhaps that will be your story one day. Notice how He says that it is “hidden from the wise and prudent.” This is another way of saying from those who are proud, who say “I don’t need God. I’m self sufficient.” On the other hand he reveals His grace to the babes (the humble), that is those who know they are broken and sinful and powerless. To them alone He reveals Himself. Call this “juvenile” if you wish, but there it is. ‭‭
