[O] [PREACHING LESSON 3:] CHRISTIAN WISH NOT THE WORLD

 CHRISTIAN WISH NOT THE WORLD

 

( I 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.

 

1. THE LOVE OF THE WORLD IS ENMITY WITH GOD.( V 15 )

 

* ( James 4:4 ) 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.

 

2. THE LOVE TO THE WORLD IS ENTICING TO CHRISTIANS.

 

( II TIMOTHY 4:10 ) 10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

* ( James 1:14-15 ) 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

 

3. THE LOVE TO THE WORLD IS SAD ENDING.

 

( I John 2:17 ) 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

 

4. THE LOVE TO THE WORLD IS ENDURING AND NOT A BLESSING.

 

a. Enduring because the Hand of God is always against you and no blessing to expect.

( I John 2: 17 ) 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

 

5. THE LOVE TO THE WORLD IS EXPECTING JUDGMENT FROM THE LORD.

 

 ( Isaiah 13: 11 ) 11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

* God bless you all always *
