1 John 2:12-17

Listen to 1 John 2:12-17
12 I am writing to you, 1little children, because 2your sins have been forgiven you for His name's sake.
13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him 3who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because 4you have overcome 5the evil one. I have written to you, children, because 6you know the Father.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him 7who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are 8strong, and the 9word of God abides in you, and 10you have overcome the evil one.

Do Not Love the World

15 Do not love 11the world nor the things in the world. 12If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, 13the lust of the flesh and 14the lust of the eyes and 15the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.
17 16The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who 17does the will of God lives forever.

Do Not Love the World Part 2
Do Not Love the World Part 2
Damian Kyle

Who do you love, and how do you live, a couple of key questions we’ll explore today on According to the Scriptures as we continue through First John. This would be a good time to look in the mirror and examine our affections to see if they need to be realigned with God’s will! The fact of the matter is there are a good number of people in love with the world, or the things of this world, and that will all pass away one day. But those who do the will of God will live forever.
