"God just wants me to be happy": UnBiblical Things That Christians Believe- Captivated For Christ Episode 10 Doesn't God just want me to be happy? This phrase has been going around the church recently and unfortunately, this phrase is not true at all! God doesn't just want you to be happy, he has so much more that he wants for you, and what he wants for you is greater than personal happiness!

What makes us happy, doesn't always make other people happy. 3. It's selfish. What is the Biblical Truth?1. God wants us to delight in good things, such as our relationship with him, his law, good relationships with other people, and things that are good that honor him, such as good food, good movies, good books, and to have fun that honors him. (Psalm 1:1-3, Matthew 22:37)2. God wants us to have joy, which is greater than any happiness.
