How do we know that Christ grants us feelings toward Him?

Our feelings towards Christ are not based on our efforts or emotions but are a result of His divine revelation. When Christ opens our eyes to our sin and leads us to repentance, it is then that we experience genuine feelings towards Him, such as love, mourning for sin, and joy in salvation. This transformative process is not contingent on our performance; it is solely the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. For instance, Job expresses a profound sense of unworthiness upon seeing God (Job 42:5-6), highlighting that true feelings towards God stem from His intervention in our lives, demonstrating that self-awareness of our sinful nature leads us to look towards Christ for grace and mercy.
