Do Not Love the World's System 1 John 2:15-17

Do not love the world's system 1 John 2: 15-17 Do not love the world nor anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lusts of his eyes, and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. The Armour of God Ephesian 6:10-12 Finally be strong in the Lord and his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you may take your stands against the devil's schemes. For we labor not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, and against the spiritual forces of evil in heavenly realms. Jesus Predicts His Death Mark 8:34-38 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me. For who wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever who loses his life for me and the gospel shall will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world yet forfeit his own soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his own soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he shall come in his glory with his holy angels." More Than Conquers Romans 8:28-35 We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those who God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among man brothers. And those who he predestined, he also called; those who he called, he also justified; those he also justified, he also glorified. What than shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those who God has chosen? It is also God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died--more than that--who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine, or nakedness, or danger or sword? [Not anything at all] Roxanne Lea Dubarry Roxy Lea 1954/ October Country September 04, 2023
