Love not the world

"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. 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 2:15-16)

The world is from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Therefore if any man love the world, the love of the Father which is Jesus Christ, which is the tree of life is not in him. Set our eyes upon Jesus and walk in the Spirit, and we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Gal 5:16). Do not try to overcome the lust of the flesh by our own strength but abide in Jesus for He is the vine in us and without Him we can do nothing (Joh 15:5). Hear Him!
