1 John 2:15
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.
LESSON:
Love - Who do you love more?
Why would the Bible tell us this? It sure sounds negative about living in this world. Is there anything in this world that the Bible thinks is worth loving? This verse is not telling us to hate the world and everything in it. After all...God made the world...and then declared "It is Good". What this verse is cautioning us about is loving the things of this world and the things that most people in society love (Seek after), that you put God last....and therefore have no real place in your life for God. The first Commandment is "You shall have no other Gods before me". If you truly love God, you will love him more than everything else in your life...including everything else in this world.
