First and foremost let me begin with the point that Jesus Christ does not ruin your life He restores it!
There is the misconception that Christianity breeds a boring life due to the lack of partying, getting drunk, having sex, etc. Yes, Jesus does call us out of our previous life and into a life of righteousness with Him, which means all unrighteousness must be stripped from your life (drunkenness, impurity, sexual immorality, evil desires, etc).
However, where most go wrong in their examination of what Jesus does to someone seeking to follow Him is they skip the part in which Jesus clothes them with righteousness! Let me say it again Jesus Christ did not come to ruin lives but to restore them! Colossians 3:12 "Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience".
Jesus Christ wants to trade. He asks for the self destructive lifestyle that we all live and in return He wants to give you a life filled with love, meaning, forgiveness, and joy ! Allow Jesus to change you. It's a process. Be Patient, Be Persistent, Be Different!
