"The Wrong Love"
"Do NOT LOVE the WORLD or the THINGS in the WORLD. If ANYONE loves the WORLD, the LOVE of the Father is NOT in him. For ALL that is in the WORLD, the LUST of the FLESH, the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is NOT of the Father, but is of the world. And the WORLD is PASSING AWAY, and the LUST of it, but He who DOES the WILL of God, ABIDES FOREVER." ~1st John 2:15-17
If there was ever an HOUR for the people of God to GUARD their EYES and HEART, this is that TIME.
The ENEMY of our SOUL is using SEDUCING spirits to draw people AWAY from God, in an effort to get them to EXCHANGE their LOVE for God and SUBSTITUTE it with PEOPLE, PLACES, THINGS in this WORLD which have NO ETERNAL VALUE.
Our LOVE for Jesus, must be PRIMARY. That means He is ABOVE everything and everyone. For if we make Him SECONDARY, we are GUILTY of IDOLATRY {Exodus 20:3}.
NOTHING in this WORLD is worth LOSING our SOUL {Mark 8:36}, so we must always REMEMBER that.....
The LUST of the FLESH takes us AWAY from the "WILL" of God.
The LUST of the EYES takes us AWAY from the "WORD" of God.
The PRIDE of LIFE takes us AWAY from the "WORSHIP" of God.
We are a PECULIAR people, set apart for the Kingdom of God!!!
Be Encouraged.
