Many people spend all their energy seeking pleasure. Jesus said, however, that worldliness—which is centered on possessions, position, or power—is ultimately worthless.

If you work hard at getting what you want, it might seem like you have a satisfying life, but eventually you will find that it is hollow and empty. Are you willing to make the pursuit of God more important than the pursuit of pleasure for pleasure... moreMany people spend all their energy seeking pleasure.

Follow Jesus, and you will know what it means to live abundantly now and ultimately to have eternal life.
