And the world is passing way....

Further to the previous post I also appreciated the word in I John 2:15: "Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him". And for what reason should we not be so enamoured with this world? "...the world is passing away and its lust..." (v.17a). Therefore why would be so wrapped up in the worldly, material things, which are against the Father? These are passing away. They are temporary, fleeting and vain. "But he who does the will of God abides forever" (v.17b). Praise the Lord.
