“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. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.“
1 John 2:15-17
Great verses, to add to your post if I may.
The world with its lust will pass away because all things that are contrary to God who is life will die.
Thanks. Indeed. Also, we sometimes forget we can’t take any of it when we go. Our love for things can distract us to the nearness of Christ’s return.
Amen!
