The World Denied, God Loved(Vs. 15)
The World Denied, God Loved(Vs. 15)
Love not the World
As if it were your home
Seeing that we are sojourners, pilgrims, and strangers
Nor the men of the world
Equally yoked
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
Neither the things [that are] in the world
To prefer the pleasures of this world
To the Spiritual things of God

Would it keep you from going to work?
Would you call in sick for it?
You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Deny the world show you love the Father
Love of God which is the love shown the elect
The Peace which passes all understanding
Can’t be friends with both the world and God
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.

All that is in the Word
The sum of all evil
The reason for All sin
The problems of life
The Lust of the Flesh
Here meant the Lust of the Body
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.
Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
Unchaste desires, thoughts, words, and actions
Fornication
Adultery
Rape
Incest
Sodomy
Unnatural lusts
Intemperance in eating and drinking
Gluttony and drunkenness
Excess of wine
Rioting
Revellings
Sensual pleasures of life
By which the mind and the lusts of it are gratified
The Lust of the Eyes
Eyes full of Adultery whereby adultery is committed
but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Sinful curiosity of seeing vain sights
All things are wearisome; Man is not able to tell it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, Nor is the ear filled with hearing.
Turn away my eyes from looking at vanity, And revive me in Your ways.
Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, Nor are the eyes of man ever satisfied.
The Pride of Life
Ambition of Honor, of chief places, and High titles
“They love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues, and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called Rabbi by men.
But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil.
When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.
The World Destroyed, The Christian Preserved(Vs. 17)
The World Destroyed, The Christian Preserved(Vs. 17)
And the world passeth away
the riches and honours of the world are
fading,
perishing, and
transitory things;
everything is upon the flux,
nothing is permanent
and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it; for the form of this world is passing away.
and the lust thereof;
also passes away; and
objects of lust are fading and fleeting,
as beauty, and riches, and honours;
but he that doeth the will of God
one as believes in Christ,
as the propitiation for his sins,
and as his advocate with the Father,
and who, makes Christ his pattern and example, and
walks as he walked
“For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.”
abideth for ever;
in the love of God, which will never depart from him
“If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned. “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. “My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. “Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. “If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
