Re: If You Are A Disciple

1 John 2:15-17 (NASB),

Quote:
15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 The world is passing away and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God continues to live forever.
Loving the world in its present and past condition means you are content to let it burn and boil and be overcome by its own wickedness, all the way to the Lake of Fire.

Loving the world as it might become, that is, loving the world the way God loved and loves the world, so much that He gave His only begotten Son's life for it, that it might be saved, is the first step toward repairing it and bringing it into the New Covenant of restoration with God.

You are the Light of this World, dear brothers and sisters.

You can make a difference.
