Indeed a life without Christ is miserable more especial if you have everything in the world, but a part inside there’s always a space depends how do you fill in the gap. When God in His word wish everyone to be saved He was not making any mistake. So in whatever that is happening you will realize that Jesus Christ is always the best or should I say only solution to these problems.
