IV. Evident by a Biblical lifestyle
A biblical lifestyle will rain on the world’s parade: Changed affections
The command of love: “Do not love the world or the things of the world.”
What is meant by the world and the things of the world?
What we love we live for
Matthew 6:19-21
It’s the system on which the world operates and is opposed to God
It’s a world system ruled by Satan (allowed by God)
A world that gives a false peace
A world who does not know God
A world trusting in it’s own wisdom
1 Corinthians 1
A world we do not fit in
The impossible relationship: “If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”
His love for us or His love in us or our love for Him?
Our love for Him?
A biblical lifestyle will resist the high life: Corrupted appetites
Things that control non-believers: “For all that is in the world—”
Lust of the flesh:
Not our physical flesh but our nature which is fallen and is sinful
The natural desires fulfilled in a forbidden way
The inward temptations
But since everything in the world … comes … from the world, we may not love any of it.
John selects for special mention the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does.
These appear to him ‘the essential marks of the pagan way of life’ (Dodd).
Lust of the eyes
This is ‘the tendency to be captivated by the outward show of things, without enquiring into their real values’ (Dodd)
Outward temptations
Jesus warning in
Pride of life
He boasts of what he has and does.
Things that are not associated with our Father: “—is not of the Father but is of this world.”
Jesus sought to do those things that pleased His Father, we should follow His example
John 8:29
A biblical lifestyle remembers the world’s party will end:
The certainity this world system is passing away: “And the world is passing away”
The sinful lifestyles will come to an end: “and the lust of it;”
The follower of God’s will continue forever: “but he who does the will of God abides forever.”
Joy can be stifled or stolen from being actively present in our every day lives
