You also know Jesus loves you in a deeper, more personal, more direct way.

I know that he died for me and there is no greater love

Joh 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Perhaps it's the Puritan in us, but we are taught not to think about Christ's love in terms of earthly love.

I think I understand what you mean. I wonder if love, all real love, isn't spiritual in some way though.

If you don't mind, could I ask what denomination, if any, you belong to? I hear quite a bit from Protestants about a 'personal relationship with Jesus' that may be something similar to what I'm trying to say here.

I appreciate your views and thank you for your reply.
