07 - Walking In Faithfulness (Not Worldliness)

1 John 2:15-17

July 24, 2022 • Pastor Ronald H. Gann • 1 John 2:15–17

Few things are more devastating than watching someone walk away from the faith because they love the world and the things of the world more than they do Jesus Christ. John implies in 1 John 2:15-17 that if you are not abiding in Christ then you are abiding in the world. And unlike Christ who reigns eternally, the world will not. It is going to pass away one day and along with it all its desires, lusts, hedonism, and secularism. And when that day comes, in whom or in what will you be found connected to? Will you be found connected to the world by your love for it or will you be found abiding in Christ by your love for him? John pleads with all men everywhere: Don’t love the world. Instead, love Christ and hate what he hates.
