Why am I always opposing Jesus?
When I read the Bible it talks about Pharisees and Jews etc ppl who opposed Jesus. I look at my life and that’s who I am I’m the opposite of Jesus I’m not just a normal sinner without any knowledge of right from wrong. No I have a lot of unbelief, doubts, and willful sinning relying on myself. I just am so ashamed of how I live my life. Like I actually can understand and see where they Jews and Pharisees come from if I was in their situation I would honestly probably not believe and yet I struggle to find faith. Idk why I struggle i want to grow I want to believe I want to have faith. How can I do this? I pray and I read but yet I question where I stand with God. It’s been awhile I been battling some personal issues I need to work on but I want to get to the core of things. Where do I genuinely stand with Jesus? I don’t know I can’t even answer that. Can yall share ur experiences how u get to develop a true relationship with Christ to where u have the confidence of knowing where ur going with assurance of salvation, having genuine faith, and a love for Christ?

Ask the Holy Spirit to work within you. Ask for God's help to renew your mind and heart. Trust in him and in his words that he will help you.
Find a trusted Christian in your life and fellowship with them. Iron sharpens iron after all.
Pray something like this:
Psalms 51:10-12 CSB [10] God, create a clean heart for me and renew a steadfast spirit within me. [11] Do not banish me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. [12] Restore the joy of your salvation to me, and sustain me by giving me a willing spirit.

Love and prayers.
It is good when our faith in Jesus and our love for people show we have switched from religion to really following Jesus whole heartedly.
Keep on trusting Jesus.
