Jesus Christ. Lord and savior. Wants you to be HAPPY. and spread JOY. TRUTH. and LIBERATION FROM SIN

Really? Find that in Scripture. Anywhere. Happiness is not at all guaranteed. Neither is liberation from sin.

First words out of Jesus' mouth in his first recorded sermon.

3 “Blessed and happy are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. 4 Blessed and happy are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed and happy are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed and happy are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed and happy are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed and happy are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 9 Blessed and happy are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. 10 Blessed and happy are they that are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. 11 Blessed and happy are you when men shall revile you and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for My sake.
Matt 4:3-11.

He that handles a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusts in the Lord, happy is he.
Proverbs 16:20.

So much for God not wanting you to be happy.

Next.

Whom having not seen, you love; in whom, though now you see him not, yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.
1 Peter 1:8

So much for God not wanting you to be joyful.

Next.

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Romans 6:14.

[M]uch more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:17.

So much for God not liberating from sin and not making us victorious.

As in Jesus' day, so now, the Pharisees and Sadducees hate to see happiness, joy and liberation from sin. That is because they are so sad-you-see.
