Man may pursue a variety of personal objectives, amass wealth, achieve success in one field or the other, or gain pleasure in something, but will soon discover that that they are all momentary and unsatisfying without Christ.
No matter how rich you become, money doesn't satisfy (Ecclesiastes 5:10). In Christ, you have everything you need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3).
At the end of the day, what people need to gain the joy that they seek is to satisfy the burning desire to connect with their maker, the Lord Jesus Christ.
It will profit you nothing if you gain the whole world and lose your soul (Matthew 16:26). Make Christ your top priority; Don't trade Him for money or anything else.
“The worst thing about hell is not the unquenchable fire and undying worms that will torture its occupants (Mark 9:48); it is the external separation from God and the regret of choosing to continue in sin despite hearing several messages of God's salvation.”
Memorise: And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. (John 6:35)
