1 John 2

Take a few minutes to read 1 John 2. You can read it in your own Bible or find it online here.

Here are the verses/thoughts that stood out to me...

1 John 2

15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.

16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.

17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.

There are a lot of things that satan tries to entice us with in this world; but we need to maintain an eternal perspective. The achievements and pleasures of this world are all temporary. A true, personal relationship with God ... maintained through obedience to His word (see 1 John 2:5) ... is eternal.
