05/29/22 ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE

No one is carried to heaven while they are clinging to and loving the world.

No one who loves the world, loves God.

1 John 2:15-17

(15) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love 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 pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

(17) And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

 

James 4:4-8

(4) Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

(5) Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

(6) But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

(7) Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
