1 John 2:15-17

Listen to 1 John 2:15-17
15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.
16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.
17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.

John Randall

Who do you love, and how do you live, a couple of key questions we’ll explore today on a Daily Walk 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.
