And Jesus, His power, vastness, beauty, intelligence, design skills and creativity, and His ways of character and conduct leaves us in awe and brings us peace and joy, making us feel good and impressed. Versus the world’s ways that bring us misery, and for that we don’t love the world, because it makes us feel bad.
