Do you want to be happy? Who does not!
Every human being on the planet, wants to be happy. But why is that? Because God designed man to be happy, from the very beginning. If you think what kind of life, Adam and Even had, before they fell into sin. I am sure, they were enjoying themselves, in the garden of Eden. God had provided everything they needed, in that garden, all the nice food was there, and there was no any evil going on, around them, they felt safe, they were safe, they had all their needs supplied, and all the beautiful plants were around them. There was nothing in the garden of Eden, to make Adam and Eve unhappy, depressed or worried, and they still did not know what evil was, because they had not fallen into sin yet. That was the original intention and design for mankind, from God, from the very beginning. Why should God change his intention today about that same design, he created, from the very beginning? People everywhere, Christians or not, are looking for happiness. People without faith in God, do not know anything about the original design and intention of God, that God designed man, to be happy, from the start. So, they are looking for all sorts of things today, to make them happy. The major problem is, if you are without God in your life, you are spiritually dead, in your heart or spirit. Your soul is alive, your body is alive, but your spirit is dead, because it is separated from God, who is Life. God is the source of all life, and when Adam and Eve sinned, and were separated from God, because of their sin, they both spiritually died. That is why, every human being on the planet, if they do not have Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, are dead in their heart or spirit. So, people in the world, are trying to find happiness in all sorts of external things, like money, big houses, nice clothes, entertainment, but deep down, they are somehow still unhappy. The reason is that they are trying to fill a spiritual need, by material external things. And that can not happen. A spiritual need, is fulfilled in a spiritual way, by God living in the heart of a person. All other things, which are external, like money, houses, cars, entertainment and other material things, are good, and necessary, but can not fill the spiritual void in the heart of a person. That is why Jesus said that he has come, so that those who believe in him, will have life in abundance. You can not have a life in abundance, if you have all those things in life, like money, cars, houses, nice clothes, friends, and other things, but do not have the living God inside of your heart, because only God makes your spirit or heart from dead to alive, a new creation, when he comes to live in you. In the book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 2 and verses 24, 25, 26, show that it is God who give happiness to people, and happiness is a gift from him. Happiness is a gift from heaven, for those who chose to believe in Jesus Christ, and follow him. He gives the life abundant, because they believe in him, and happiness finds its way, from heaven, into the hearts of men.
