Why Are People Unhappy?

Romans 3:23 / “...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”

Hymn #304 The Love of God (Unified Hymn 404)

Why are people unhappy? They're unhappy because they've left God, are seized by Satan, and belong to Genesis 3. Conversely, why aren't people who've met God happy? Despite being saved, they're still influenced by Genesis 3. These are the causes of unhappiness.

1. It's Because People Are Separated from God
Because of disobedience caused by Genesis 3; 6; and 11, people have become ignorant of God. As a result, they've fallen into sin (Romans 3:23) and sufferings. Desperate, they seek religion as a solution. Even if they attend church, if they can't escape from Genesis 3; 6; and 11, it'll become just another religion. Unfortunately, that'll become a path of greater pain.

2. The Bible Explains When This Unhappiness Began
It began with the loss of the blessings of Eden. Simply put, despite being God's children, people lost hold of who they were. That cause was Genesis 3, (Genesis 3:1-6) and that result led to suffering. (Genesis 3:16-20)

3. How Long Will This Unhappiness Last?
There is no set period. It's forever. It continues even now, and the more you try to solve it, the more difficult it becomes.

4. Why Doesn't This Unhappiness Go Away?
It remains because you continuously collude with the Nephilim. By constantly saying "me; us; and together," you enter the Nephilim.

5. What Happens If You Don't Know God?
The "6 States of the Unbeliever" completely become your fate. You begin as a child of the devil, and eventually, both you and your posterity will go to Hell.

6. The Peace That's Gained from the People of This World Is Momentary
In this world, many people struggle. This is referred to as "working in vain." It's the same as falling into quicksand because the things that are worldly, physical, and bring pleasure will cause greater unhappiness.

7. As a result, People Seek Out Fortune-Telling, Divination, Exorcism, Idols, and Religions
These give the illusion that you've received answers; however, they're just momentary. In actuality, it's like placing your hands and feet in iron shackles.

8. There's a Path to Eternal Freedom
The path given by God is the only path. Christ Because you don't possess such a path, you've been saved by grace through faith which is the gift of God. (Ephesians 2:8-10)

Dear God, please grant me new grace and new strength. May believers who enjoy the true Gospel arise. Please grant me the great grace of discovering true happiness. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
