Do Not Love the 

World
(3 Reasons Why We Should Not Love The World)

Scripture: 1 John 2:15–17

 1. You cannot love the world and God at the
same time.
- if anyone loves the world, love for the Father is
not in him
- no man can serve two masters
- if you love the world, it will pass away and take
you with it
- therefore, let us desire nothing but God, possess
nothing but God
2. The world and its lusts will pass.
- to set your heart on the world and its lusts is
only asking for heartache and misery in the
end
- if you love the world, it will pass away and take
you with it
- but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven
where rust and moth can’t corrupt and where
thieves can’t break and steal
3. You will live forever.
- the opposite of loving the world is not only
loving the Father, but also doing the will of
the Father
- if you love the world, you will perish with the
world, but if you don’t love the world but
love God, you will do his will and live with
him forever
