There are only two mental health providers in the Universe: • the first One says that He came to give Life that is Abundant; and • the other one came only to kill, steal, and destroy.
At salvation we go from the destroyer's control to Christ Jesus' life that is endless and abundant. However, we still live in fallen human bodies, in a cursed and sinful world.
Often unsaved unbelievers have no idea who is controlling their minds as they head to destruction; they do not realize that sin always pays everyone back with boredom, guilt, shame, loneliness, confusion, emptiness, loss of purpose, and finally death in the form of conscious, endless, punishment in Hell.
Equally tragic is the reality that many saved believers do not focus on the One who wants to control their minds, and thus they do not obey what God's Word tells them to do to avoid the consequences of sin that are in effect even as a believer. Sin always pays us believers back with boredom, guilt, shame, loneliness, confusion, emptiness, loss of purpose, and most terribly—the loss of rewards.
