?"Love Not The World"?
The Messiah testified: “If the world hates you know that it hated Me before it hated you.” (John 5:18) “The world cannot hate you; but the world hates Me, because I testify that the works of this world are evil.” (John 7:7)” Truly, Truly, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it die it brings forth much fruit. He that loves his life in this world shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall have it unto Life Eternal.” (John 12:24-25) “If you were of the world, the world would love it’s own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you". (John 15:19) and “The Messiah gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of GOD, Our Father.”(Gal 1:4)
The Apostle John testified, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves 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. And the world will pass away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of GOD will abide for ever.” (I John 2:15-17)
The Apostle James testified, “Where do wars and fighting among you come from? Do they not come of your lusts that war in your members? You lust, and have not: you kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: you fight and war yet you have not, because you ask not. You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may consume it upon your lusts. You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know the friendship of this world is enmity with GOD? Therefore, whoever will be a friend of the world is the enemy of GOD.” (James 4:1-4)
And The Apostle John testified, "The WHOLE world is under the control of the evil one." (1John 5:19)
Question is, "Why is it that the multitudes believe that a certain portion of this world is not "under the control of the evil one""?
Discernment has taught me that the multitudes compare one portion of this "evil world" to another, "which is not wise", and then that portion which is the lesser evil in their own mind, becomes their version of good ;-(
Sadly, seems it's a game people play, the "gevid" game, and all who play are losers ;-(
"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light, and light for darkness; who substitute bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" (Isa 5:20)
So it is that the multitudes love this evil world, it's things, and their own life in and of it ;-(
And "the few" who follow The Messiah "on the narrow way"?
They have "set their affections on things above", Heavenly things.......
They are "In, yet not of this world" indeed and Truth.......
Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(no-peace) that is of this evil world....... francis
