 Jesus died so you could experience blessings, love, joy, peace, happiness, comfort, and a better life. God has a wonderful plan for your life and you just need to say yes to Him to unlock it. Tell that modern gospel mumbo-jumbo to the many martyrs of the Christian faith. This good life that is often promised has nothing to do with the gospel. Jesus came to save us from our own wickedness and the consequence of sin. Yes, Jesus does offer joy. In fact, the Bible says that our joy is made complete in Him. But this joy and peace comes hand in hand with trials and tribulations. Jesus' mission wasn't to deliver us the good life. It was to bring us back to life because we were dead in our sins, but He made us alive again.
