Love the World? Do not!

Recently a magazine pointed me to my guide to seeing the world.

An airline advertisement is pointing out to me that our local airline is also my connection to the world and that I need to use it.

Long ago I read for the first time in THE BOOK OF BOOKS  about the love of the Father and the love of the world. What is in the world? I am told that there are three things in the world: (First John 2:15-17)

1. “the cravings of sinful man, …”  (Proverbs 23:3; Proverbs 21:26; Proverbs 13:2)

2. “the lust of his eyes and…”  (Genesis 3:6; Job 31:1; Psalm 119:37)

“lust of the eye”

3.  “the boasting of what he [man] has and does – ”

We love the Father or we love the world. We cannot love the Father and the world at the same time. The world is coming to an end. Those who love the Father have eternal life.

Can I point you to the guide to seeing the love of the Father, the will of God. The guide to seeing the love of the Father and the will of God is the BIBLE.
