‘Love not the world’ – that dictum has has not changed and will not change…. (1 John 2:15)

If you love the world–you love that which may keep you out of heaven. "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!" (Mark 10:23).

Prosperity, to many, is like a large sail to a small boat, which quickly overturns it. By loving the world – you love that which will endanger you.

You may love worldly things–but they cannot love you in return. You love gold and silver–but your gold cannot love you in return.

But if you love God, He will love you in return. "If any man loves me, my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him" (John 14:23). For our drops of love to Him – we shall receive an ocean of His love, in return!

You may love wine too much, and silver too much; but you cannot love God too much You simply cannot out-love Him!

So who will you love most today? God or the world?
