The Lord Jesus calls you to live a life that will be pleasing to God.
And He is willing to give you everything you need to do that.
Yes, everything! He even paid the price for your sins, so you can be acceptable to God and live with Him and for Him for an eternity!

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and
receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." - John 14:3

How the world understands this phrase: Enjoy your life!
This world is evil, then the conclusion it will have about this phrase will also be evil.

but even their mind and conscience are defiled." - Titus 1:15
The world keep repeating this message everywhere, but the way they recommend you to enjoy your life will actually cost much more than your money and your precious time...
...it will cost your soul.

Is that enjoying life?! If you believe that is enjoying life you are sadly mistaken.
There is indeed pleasure in following the sinful desires of the flesh, but it actually is a deceit.
Think about it...
if I am going to deceive you, I will not give you something that obviously looks bad or that feels bad...
I will give you something that appears to be good, that feels good, when in reality it is leading you to death.
"Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful." - Proverbs 27:6

Whose hands are fetters.

But the sinner shall be trapped by her." - Ecclesiastes 7:26

shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’" - Matthew 7:21-23
"And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord,
choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve...
