Lust doesn’t make people happy. Life in the Son does:

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. – Galatians 5:22-24

“..for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” – Romans 14:17.

JESUS: “..Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and remain in his love. I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.” – John 15:9-11

JESUS: 1 Father13 ..I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves. 20 Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me. 22 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one;23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.  26 ..that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.” – John 17
