LOVING THIS WORLD
I John 2:15 Stop loving this evil world and all that it offers
you, for when you love the world, you show that you do not have the love of the
Father in you. NLT
Have you stopped
loving this world and what it offers to you?
You cannot be right with God until you do. Let the Lord show you today where your
attachments are. Let Him show you who,
or what, you value more than Him. Let
Him show you how unreliable and unfulfilling the things of the world really
are. Let Him show you that all the
promises of the world to satisfy the soul are empty lies from Satan.
The bottom line is
that when you long for the things of this world and strive to obtain them, you
really don’t love the Father. You strive
to obtain that which you love. Our
actions speak louder than our words. You
can claim to love God but if He is not your passion, your words do not mean
much. Your soul cannot be divided on
this. You cannot love the Father of
truth and the father of lies at the same time.
God will not share our affections with the world.
Loving the world is an
act of treason for those who claim to love God.
It is declaring that what God promises is not true. He promises to satisfy the soul. He promises to give us something worth living
for. He promises to reward those who are
faithful to Him. He promises to meet our
every need. He promises to break our
attachments to the things of the world.
When we grow attached to the things of the world and rely upon them to
make us happy, we are denying that God can meet the needs of our souls, that He
is not enough for us.
You cannot live for
the things of the world and love God at the same time.
