Wednesday 27th May 2020Midweek

We continue our midweek studies in 1 John tonight, as we consider how chapter 2 v15-17 instruct us not to love the temporary pleasures of this world.
1 John 2 v15-17

1 John 2:15–17

Do Not Love the World

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life1—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
