Dr. Fresh's comment on 2015-09-04 10:58:31:

LOVE NOT THE WORLD: Do not be carried away by the ways, the order, the govt, the behaviour, and more importantly, the fashions of the world. All these are fleeting and temporal pleasures, which will all pass away. ...AND THE THINGS OF THE WORLD: The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. If your happiness comes from the things of the world, the moment it is taken away from you, the next moment you are down and sad. Happines comes from God. Seek HIm

I believe it speaks of the worlds system that seeks to dominate and rule apart from acknowledging God as Soverign and his law the 10 commandments as supreme. The tower of Babel was an example of the world and it that sort of "world " exists today in the form of all human governments that seek to rule us without any thought of what God says.

love not the world or the things of the world..... two things that God commands us not to love. 1. ' 'The world ' ',this describes the order,the fashion,the behaviour, and the government that makes up the world,Genesis 6 vs 5,12 2. "things in the world ",these are the evil elements that come out of "the world ".1st John 2:16,the lust of the flesh works of the flesh,Galatians 1:19 ,the list of the eye 2nd Peter 2:14,the pride of life,this involve power,riches,beauty,position etc. These are what the Bible described as mammon,that is why is a command from God that we should not love them but instead love God with all your hearth.Thank

The first thing we must understand is that LOVE NOT THE WORLD OR ANYTHING THAT BELONGS TO TH E WORLD is a COMMAND and who is the COMMAND given to ? 1. The COMMAND is given to those whose SINS are FORGIVEN 1 JOHN 2:12 2. The COMMAND is given to those who have DEFEATED the EVIL ONE 1 JOHN 2:13 3.The COMMAND iS given to those who KNOW the FATHER 1JOHN 2:14 MEANING THE COMMAND ' ' LOVE NOT THE LOVE WORLD OR ANYTHING THAT BELONGS TO THE WORLD ' ' IS A COMMAND TO EVERY BELIEVE OR CHRISTIAN .....AND THEREFORE WE MUST HATE WHAT GOD HATES!!! The second thing we must also understand is that the COMMAND LOVE NOT THE WORLD OR ANYTHING THAT BELONGS TO THE WORLD is not refering to the Human World 1JOHN 3:16 but Satan 's System of ruling 1JOHN 5 :19 MARANATHA!!!!!!!! REPENT! AND LOVE NOT THE WORLD OR ANYTHING THAT BELONGS TO THE WORLD BECAUSE JESUS IS COMING VERY QUICK REVELATION 1:7

Hasim's comment on 2014-12-31 10:09:11:

love for The Father is my love for Him love of The Father is His love in me. This is in 1John 2:15 'love of The Father "seems a better translation!...

Aaron's comment on 2014-10-28 15:40:00:

Do not love the things of the world. Pleasure, Treasures, Jewels Materialistic things. If any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him. Scripture says Seek those things which are above not on things on the earth! do not seek material worldly things! Seek Jesus!

Tim George's comment on 2014-05-29 02:23:00:

Love not the world means the cosmos which is the evil system of this world.

Quintin's comment on 2014-05-15 06:59:47:

Can we love our wives? I know we must love our wives but I suppose should never put even our wives above the Lord.

Evangelist Grant's comment on 2013-12-29 22:03:53:

Love not the world (in which we live) neither the things that are in the world ( money, houses, clothes, cars, jewelry, any device made good or evil or the pleasures of this world. If (is a condition) any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him. We cannot love God and mammon there must be a choice made either or. Strait is the gate and narrow is the way and few there be that find it. Will you find your way to the Father, Son Jesus , and the Holy Spirit?
We cannot focus if our minds ,hearts, and souls, are not seeking him. We are or become void meaning empty inside.

Nina Bullard's comment on 2013-06-25 21:07:43:

I think it means to keep our hearts and minds fixed on Christ Jesus. The times I've sinned or gotten involved have been when I did not daily go the Lord and study His Word. The closer I stay too Him, the better my life flows. N.B.

Renee's comment on 2013-06-06 20:20:32:

In Every thing that we Do It should Be filled with Jesus ... God says Do not be conformed to this World but be Transformed by the Renewing of your mind. Things that we watch and Do effect Us the things that we Spend more time with If its not God then that is our God! Yes that includes Facebook Phones video Games .... We need to make more Time For God Learning about Him Spending time with him (Reading His word, Talking to him) We are not to love the things of this World. you can not Be Hot Or Cold your one or the Other...Seek First the Kingdom Of God!
