John 2:15-17
He
That Doeth the Will of God Abideth for Ever
1Jn
2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are
in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in
him.
1Jn
2:16
For all that is in the world, the
lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of
the Father, but is of the world.
1Jn
2:17
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of
God abideth for ever.
- Love
Not the World Neither the Things that are in the World. – vs. 15a*
- John
distinguishes the love of the world from the love of things of this world
because both are just as wrong. The natural man can only and will only
love the world; it is only in Christ that we are free to love our Creator
rather than His creation.

Romans 3:9-12
ii.
1 John 2:12-14
- Love
for the World is Incompatible with a Love for the Father. – vs. 15b*
- If a
person loves the world that is clear evidence that the love of the Father
is not in him. Because the love of God is so powerful it transforms the
affections of the human heart.
