THE WORLD

This is what the BIBLE says about the world.

The Bible says not to love the world. That includes anything that is in it. Also loving the world excludes loving God the Father.

In 1 John 2:15-17 (The Amplified Bible), we are told about three things in the world.

  1. “Lust of the flesh [craving for sensual gratification].”
  2. “Lust of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind].”
  3. “Pride of life [assurance in one’s own resources or in the stability of earthly things].”

Why are we as followers  of the Lord Jesus Christ commanded not to love the world? The answer is that the world is passing away, but people who do God’s will have eternal life.”
