Although certain conditions in life cause us to love the world, the world does not love us. He deceives us and we shouldn’t like it.
« Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world–the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does–comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. »(1John 2:15-17)
The things of the world may be desired and possessed for the uses and purposes which God has provided, and they must be used by his grace and for his glory; but believers should not seek them out or value them for the purposes to which sin deceives them.
The things of the world are quickly fading away and dying. If the things of the world are not taken from us in our lifetime, death absolutely separates us from them. Sheer vanity!
PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, grant us to not love the world and the things of the world.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
