The world passes away, he who does the will of God abides forever

Thursday 2021.12.23

From today's readings, 1 John chapter 2 tells us not to love the world, for the the world and its lust passes away, but he who does the will of God abides forever.

1 John 2:15 - 17  KJV  King James Version
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.

Brothers and Sisters in the Anointed One, let us beware of falling in love with the things of this passing world. Instead, let us strive to do the will of God our Father in Heaven that we may abide forever.
