Do Not Love the World
1 John 2:15 - 17
“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.”
To live as true Christians means that we will be challenged. There are so many things in this world that try to take our attention away from God … “the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.” Remember that all these worldly things are passing away, but “he who does the will of God abides forever.”
