Happiness only comes with God in us. God through the Holy Spirit will "make a tent" [Bible term: tabernacle] within anyone who lives morally right. One starts to become righteous as he/she fears the Lord's judgment. The Bible says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." A righteous person shuns evil.
Jesus did not only come to die for our sins but also to live the life anyone should live that he/she be called a child of God. Indeed, he is the model that we should follow.
In contrast, God cannot be with someone who does wrong. Wrongdoings will always lead to trouble. And this is doubly alarming for without God's power no one can do right. For the devil's power is too powerful to be defeated by man's effort.
Defeating the devil requires that you join with Christ. How? Believe and do what he teaches. That's the essence of being called to follow God. This is made easy by God's power as he sends the Holy Spirit to live within anyone who believes his Son.
