Love Not the World
1 John
Many today are far too attached to the things of this world. Our society is filled to the brim with commerce - there are stores on almost every corner. And everyone is busy making money so they can buy more things. God wants His children to be blessed with nice things, but the Bible tells us not to love them excessively. It is important to keep things in their proper place.
If you use what you have to bless others, God will see to it that you have everything you need, and more. Therefore, your goal should be to enjoy the things God gives you and to share with others. This shows your love for the Father.

"Love Not The World"
Simply, Truth testified some two thousands years ago:
"Love not the world".......(l John 2:15)
For "the WHOLE(not just a portion) world is under the control of the evil one”....... (I John 5:19)
And it was prophesied that "evil men and seducers would wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived" ;-( (ll Timothy 3:!3)
Thankfully "whoever is Born of GOD overcomes the world, and this is The Victory that overcomes the world, even our Faith!" (I John 5:4)
And John testified, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 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. And the world will pass away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of The Only True GOD will abide for ever.”(I John 2:15-17)
The Messiah testified, “If you were of the world, the world would love it’s own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said unto you, the servant is not greater than his Master. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also.” (John15:19-20)
James testified, “Where do wars and fighting among you come from? Do they not come of your lusts that war in your members? You lust, and have not: you kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: you fight and war yet you have not, because you ask not. You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may consume it upon your lusts. You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is to be at enmity with The Only True GOD? Therefore whoever will be a friend of the world is the enemy of The Only True GOD.” (James 4:1-4)
The Messiah testified, “The world cannot hate you; but the world hates Me, because I testify that the works of this world are evil.” (John 7:7)” And Paul testified, “The Messiah gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of The Only True God, Our Father.”(Gal 1:4)
The Messiah testified: “If the world hates you know that it hated Me before it hated you.”(John 5:18) Truly, Truly, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it die it brings forth much fruit. He that loves his life in this world shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall have it unto life eternal.” (John 12:24-25)
John testified: “Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hates you.” (I John 3:13)
James testified, “Whoever would be a friend of this world is the enemy of GOD!” (James 4:4)
