DELIVERED FROM WORLDLINESS
BREAD
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For everything in the world–the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does–comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.
1 John 2:15-17 (NIV)

“The nature of Christ’s salvation is woefully misrepresented by the present-day evangelist. He announces a Saviour from Hell rather than a Saviour from sin. And that is why so many are fatally deceived…there are multitudes who wish to escape the Lake of Fire who have no desire to be delivered from their carnality and worldliness.” A. W. Pink
HEART SAVOR
• I am not to love (pant, greatly desire or lust after) the things of this world rather I am to enjoy what God allows me to have and live my life with open hands. Like Job’s response over the calamities in his life: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised.” Job 1:21 (NIV)
• Worldliness comes not from the Father but from the world.
• The one who does the will of God will live forever.
