I have been actively seeking to be saved for 15 years. it is not working. Just today, I realized that I instinctively shrink back from having a personal relationship with Jesus. Until my instincts change, I guess I'll be out of relationship with Him and outside the kingdom of heaven.
I know the gospel and about heaven and hell. But my personal instincts - derived from the sinful nature I inherited from Adam and Eve - are stronger, apparently, than any facts, logic or call of God. I can't help shrinking away from relationship with Jesus - it's instinctive.
